To My Dad Poem by bob richardson

I KNOW I NEVER REALLY NEW YOU WHEN YOU WAS AROUND

I USED TO HEAR ALL THESE STORYS THAT YOU WERE REALLY SOUND

BUT WITH THINGS LIKE THEY WERE WITH YOU AND MY MUM

I KNOW IT WAS HARD FOR YOU TO BE WITH ME YOUR SON

I GOT TO KNOW YOU FOR JUST OVER 2 WEEKS

THEN GOD OPENED HIS ARMS AND YOU FELL ASLEEP



I WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER THE DAY THAT YOU DIED

I WAS ONLY 15 AND NEVER KNEW HOW TO CRY

IM 43 NOW AND STILL MISS YOU SO MUCH

I REALLY WISH YOU WAS HERE TO GIVE ME A HUG

I TALK ABOUT YOU ALL OF TIME ABOUT THE FEW WEEKS THAT CHANGED MY LIFE.



I THINK OF YOU DAD AND STILL I CRY

THEY WAY YOU WENT ILL NEVER KNOW WHY.

FROM BOY TO MAN I NOW HAVE KIDS OF MY OWN

they have asked me about why my dad has gone

to the lord i say and he's not alone

he's with my mum looking down on you son's

i ask you dad i hope that your proud

of my beautiful boys that i love so much.



i thought i would right this little words

to the man i love and miss so much

your memory will live on through me and my boys

and our love for you will go on and on.

so happy fathers day my dear dad on this day i will not try be to sad.

i love you more as time goes on and so do your 2 grandsons

say hello to mum and tell her we are ok

tell her we love her to in every way.
