Loss of Father Poem

Remembering Times With Dad

I wrote this poem because my dad was not here to see me graduate or see his grandchild born. Nor will he be here to watch me get married and have a full life. Ever since he died I feel like a piece of me is gone. He was the only parent I had since my mom was a drug addict. I just wish I could see him one more time and show him what I have accomplished with my life. I know he would be proud of me. I just wish he could tell me himself.

I, too, have lost my father, and the void created can never be filled. There are so many things that I feel I should have done for him when he was around, so many things I should have said to...

My Daddy

Published by Family Friend Poems August 2017 with permission of the Author.

I can't believe it's been four years.
It doesn't feel like it's been that long.
I wish you could come home,
But in the sky is where you belong.

It would make me so happy
If I could just visit for one day.
Just so I could talk to you,
And everything would be okay.

I remember the days we had together,
How you would pick me up every Friday.
All the fun things we did,
I especially remember my birthdays.

I remember all the trips to the mall,
And the days at the beach.
The times I did stuff wrong,
And the life lessons you would teach.

I loved you with all my heart,
And I wish you didn't have to go.
All the good times we had,
But that seems like so long ago.

I miss you so much, Daddy,
And I wish I could have you back.
I'm lost without you, Daddy.
You're the one thing my life lacks.
