For Dad Poem by Walterrean Salley

For Dad

Rating: 5.0


Happy Birthday Dad.
You’d be seventy-eight—
If you were still alive
And it hadn’t been your fate.

Wish you could see your grands,
And your great grands too.
They would be elated
For a day on earth with you.

Your kids are older now
Than you were when you passed.
Though years go and times change,
Your memories will last.

A big 10+ for this poem that moves hearts. We keep remembering their birthdays. The amazing thing is that the bitterness of grief can turn into sweet memories after a while. Our parents love and care lives on in us and in the hearts we manage to touch.
