I miss you Dad.

This is my first poem i wrote, and i really have no idea if this is the form you should write a poem in.The last four years have been hard on me- and i needed to put it down on writing.

 

 

I was just thirteen at the time

What does she meant

‘By he might die?’

Would I lose my friend?

My hero, my protector?

I couldn’t quite understand,

 

I always did, but I never, never

 Said the words I love you.

Of course if I did after the news,

I would have cried and I

Didn’t want that.

 

I couldn’t face you for days,

I was scared I’d lose you,

So I prayed- for the first time,

With all my heart.

When you died,

A part of me died too,

But that’s okay because I’m sure,

You’re now resting and happy.

 

It’s been four years,

And I’m not thirteen anymore.

I’m now facing the real world,

Were everyone and everything,

Seems to be like a jungle- and I,

Can’t really get the hang of this yet.

 

I wish I can just see you for a day,

Take you to pizza Hut and talk,

Squeeze your hand and beg you to,

Tell me that everything will be okay.

But I can’t- and I guess that’s okay too.

 

 

 

As long as you promise me,

You’ll remember me forever,

I wish though that I can tell you

How much I appreciated you,

And how much I loved you.

So I guess I’m doing it now.

 

 

I love you Daddy.

Your little girl.
