Within My Heart Poem by Audrey Heller

I never wanted to lose you, I
wanted you, to stay. But life is
funny, things happen anyway!
The things you taught me, how
can I forget. It still lingers on,
they're still with me, yet! You
gave so much to me, not many
fathers would. You were there,
when I needed you most and
you always, understood! We
had a kind of father daughter
relationship, like apple pie.
For in this relationship, I was
the apple, of your eye! To say
I miss you, is putting it mildly,
I have days where I'm blue. But
then I remember, within my
heart, they'll always be, a place
for you! ! !
