I Wonder

I wonder can you hear me? Do you know when I am sad I often think about you, You're my Father, my friend, My Dad. I think about your laughter The good times and the bad. But most of all I think about the fun we use to have. I remember how you sang us all to sleep sometimes at night. And how you'd say "Behave yourself, be good, and please don't fight." I wonder do you know that your Grand-daughter is all grown. And that she has a baby now A daughter of her own. They say she has her mothers smile And has her fathers toes. But Dad I swear I see you in her eyes above her nose. She'll never know the man I knew And never feel your touch. But I tell her all your stories Dad, she seems to like a bunch. I wish she could have meant you Just to feel the way we do. The love And understanding came so easily to you. I'm glad we had this time to talk And Dad before I'm through, I want to say how you are missed And how much I love you......

Great write in tribute to your father...You will keep his memory alive by telling the memories to your child...If you have pictures or family movies that will help also...I was adopted and I say I can see my father in my grandson...no biological kin..Sara
