Happy Father's Day Poem by Monino Martin

Hey dad how are you?
It’s been a long time since were together, I missed you, I know that you miss me too
I know that you do
Even if I can’t see you
You’re always there beside me
Looking down on me and the rest of the family
We know you’re always there to protect us and guide us
Like when you’re still alive you’re always protecting us for all the people who are trying to get our place, you fought for us till the last
I don’t really know you that much
But still remember what we did together, when you’re still alive, I still remember the touch
Of you’re hand when you hold me, when we go for a walk in the morning and riding on the bike with you
While eating a liver BBQ
That’s all I can remember
When we we’re together
I heard some bad things about you and good things about you
But I know that you took good care of us, you worked hard just to get us through
From this hard life of ours that we had
We thank you for doing that for us dad
I just feel bad because I didn’t really get to know ya
We didn’t really spent some time togetha
We only been together when I was a baby until I turned three years old
Then you just left, the only way that I got to know a little bit about you is a story from the whole family that I’ve been told
All the bad things and good things about you
I’m wishing that you’re still here and do the things that we never got to do
So I could have someone to argue with, eat with, and be with
Like the other kids doing with their dads having fun with and talking to every minute
I’m wishing that you’re here
So I could have someone to spend some time and bug with every year
But it’s ok with me now that you’re gone
I know that you’ll never going to come back and all I can do is pray and live on
So dad even if you’re gone I still
Think about you and pray for you I always will
I’ve wrote this for you, especially for you
Because it’s father’s day and this all I can do
To show you how much I missed you and love you, we dedicate this for you for all the things that you’ve done
For us this is our present for you since you’re gone
We love you dad/Grandpa
We always going to pray for you

Love, Martin Family

For my dad happy father's day
