Can You Hear Me (Dad) Poem by Max D. Hornbogen

Dad, can you hear me? It’s me max. You left me when I was just little and now I am a young man.

Why did you have to leave me Dad? Ever since I’ve been so sad.

Can you see me where you are? I see you each night, my special star.

I play you’re guitar every night, like you did at my bedside, I remember every song you sang like you are with me right here.

I’m working now dad and I try real hard. When I feel upset I can hear you say, “Life won’t be easy, there’s no easy way”

I still miss you Dad. Do you come at night? I think you are sitting on my bed holding me tight.

I don’t know where and I can’t know when, but one thing I know, we’ll be together again
