Remember Daddy

There is nothing that we can say
to make us feel at ease;
We will miss you dad,
more than anyone could see.

We know that there were times
that we did not get along;
There were words we may have spoken 
that weren't meant to be;
But we all knew what we truely felt
and that was our father/daughter love.

Remember when you married mom?
We have more great memories of you
like the one of Rose and the hog,
and Sport with the rubber roo's.
Those are just a few of the great
things to remember of you.

Growing up was tough for us
because you weren't always there;
But now we see that was not
the way you had it planned;
Things happen for a reason
no matter what they may be.
We know you love us daddy, 
and are always proud.

You will be missed sweet father;
What we wouldn't give 
for one more hug and kiss 
or to be able to say
"we love you daddy" 
instead of you being missed.

We will never forget You!
