I Miss You Father Poem by Arti Chopra

how much I miss you, dear father,
, I can only write and say,
wish you were by my side,
to guide me, and show me the way.

I miss your sweet shy smile,
the love in those dear brown eyes,
I miss your attentive listening,
the sweet hellos, and the fond goodbyes.

whenever I was troubled,
I'd pour out my heart to you,
you did not say all that much,
but a world of wisdom, in the words so few.

today when I am troubled,
I silently talk with you,
and I know I still recieve that wisdom,
because it turns right whatever I do.

Your love can not be forgotten
brings a warm glow to my heart,
I know in spirit your'e always with us,
though on this earth, we had to part.

so quiet, sincere and hardworking,
your life an example for us.
what all you taught us, earnestly,
I wish to live life thus.

So bless me again dear father,
give me strength that I may suceed,
to live life as you taught us,
of your values and principles, take heed.
