Poem for Dad

As I sit in this silence and think about the day,
I wonder "If you were here with me, What would we say?"
Would we talk about the weather, the football game, the race?
It would brighten my day, if I could just see your face.

Would we reminisce about old memories and how times flies too fast?
And how we wish we could have made every single moment last?
I would tell you how hard it is, knowing that you're gone,
And even harder to hold my head up and pretend to be strong.

When I wake up in the morning, I don't want to leave the bed.
I just wat to hide in the covers, but I get up instead.
I bring myself to my feet, and prepare for the day,
Take a look in the mirror and tell myself, "It will all be okay."

It seems like everywhere I go, I'm reminded of you.
By a song on the radio, or little simple things people do.
And without even knowing it, they just made my day.
Because remembering you washes all the pain away,
And puts a smile on my face..

You were a wonderful father, husband, brother, and son.
A very special person to everyone.
Such kindness and love from a friend so true,
You leave behind great memories with everyone you knew.

And even though I may not get to see you for a while,
I'll never forget your contagious laugh and heart-warming smile.
So, when this silence returns, and I'm feeling lonely and blue,
I'll just remember that I'll see you again when God calls me home too.

**R.I.P DAD; I LOVE AND MISS YOU SO MUCH! YOU WERE AN AMAZING MAN AND I WISH YOU WERE STILL HERE WITH US...YOU WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN<3**
