January 26 2016 To Dad

To my dad:

I love you
I miss you
I want to 
Hug and kiss you.

I want you to know
How I love you so.
I miss you so much
I wish I could touch

Your work-hardened hands
That met all my demands.
I mqiss the sound of your bike
As you ride in, that I like.

I am afraid
That too much 
Time has passed by,
To just let this fly.

I miss your bedtime stories
You told me some nights
Right before you
Would cut out the lights.
