Parents Poem by Phil Soar

It seems I've forgotten you, but I haven't
Not a day passes without thoughts of you
It might seem it don't matter, but it does
And though the emptiness has eased, I'm blue

It's not possible to overlook your importance
Though at times I'm sure you failed
You tried your best to bring me up
Even though my ship had sailed

And each year when you would be celebrating
And another year has passed
Although our lives sometimes had clashed
In truth, I had a blast

So Mum and Dad, I'll just say thanks
Place flowers on your tomb
And I'd like to show my love in words
But there isn't enough room
