Miss You

I lost my Dad way to soon, but when would the time be right..
I lost my dear sister too, but maybe now they are in each others sight..
Life passes by so fast and we tend to take things for granted...
We hold on to the memories and the new seeds we have planted..
I do my best to fill in the gaps, but I still miss watching my dad nap..
I'm the one they seem to look too, they hold me so high I hope I can do..
So as I lay my tired head to rest, I hope they look down and know I'm 
doing my best...For another day will start and on each shoulder I 
shall hold their hearts.....

Yes for sure when would there ever be a time that was right, to lose a dear Dad and friend. It was a hard time for me for a while when I lost my own dad Michael. Thanks so much for supporting my contest with this worthy poem. "Congratulations on your success." Agape, Moses

This tender hearted poem, brings sadness, yet filled with the wish we all have, of making someone proud. I have often felt this way too, hope my mother looks down and knows I'm doing my best. Well said. Congratulations on your honorable mention in the contest! ~ Carrie

Your sad poem brought tears to my eyes, Michael, and I'm sure there are many here who can relate to the regrets you express. We can't take anything for granted; we must live each day to the fullest. Beautifully written! Love, carolyn
