Tribute To My Dad

broken bones skinned knees it was you wondering where I am was I okay it was you when I fell apart from a broken heart it was you tasting my tears facing my fears it was you sharing my pain from far away it was you happy in love sharing my joy it was you weary and tired from illness and pain now it is me holding your hand in your last days it is me laying you to rest saying farewell to the best it is me thanks Dad I love you I miss you

Tulisha, this one reminds me of my dad who died many years ago, but I still miss him so much. Nice tribute to your dad and welcome. Ernilando

This lovely tribute to your Dad touched me deeply, TuLisha. He sounds like a great father and you were lucky to have him. My Dad died in January, so I was drawn to the subject of this poem. You brought back some wonderful memories. Thank you! Love, Carolyn
