A Letter To Dad Poem by Donna Secrest

Dear dad..
It feels like you are so far away. I cried today.I think about the days when I was little And you would make me giggle And we would play, I listened to everything you would say Ok maybe not everything.By the way mom gave me her ring The one you and grandpa made, I wear it so my love will never fade. Everyone is doing good.Obamas been reelected like me and you knew he would.Don and Holly are having another baby We found Dustin Jennifer and Tracy I know dad its all so crazy. And I wish you could of met the Kern family We go and stay at Lois and Roys There’s wave runners and other toys. And me and jody are really getting pretty tight. Uncle Frank? He’s doing alright, Still surprised you and him never robbed a bank, Ol’ wild bill. Ya know I hear that still. Steven, well she going to be a nurse, She’s getting ready to graduate and in our family that’s a first. Mom? She could be doing worse She married Joe I’m sure you know. Rick and Wendy are trying to get me to church But I wont go, I hardly ever show, I guess I will reap what I sow, Hey dad are the streets really yellow? Misty and the joneses? They got the house glad about that, Now I wish she would plant some roses. Tell aunt Sharon I gave Fran her hat, Took us forever to find where it was at. Chase and Cody thanks to Jody are doing well But I guess only time will tell. Jackie and Tyler and the baby lees? Growing like weeds And ember is so cute it would bring you to your knees. how can you say no to a Face like that. I know you understand along with uncle Jim I sure miss him. We use to watch the Jefferson’s together You should have heard the laughter When the dog went over the balcony And the drives we took down to the sea.Tell him hi for me Well dad I could go on forever But then this wouldn’t be a letter Im glad I wrote you it makes me feel better. We miss your silliness and all the fun, you always had a pun, I love them all, and whats a puddy ball? But my favorite one of all... kids are a bad invention, now im older and know there was no bad intention, send em to juvenile detention,, you were right dad, the things they put you through and all they do, and I know I did to… but I wouldnt change things.. you’re the best dad and I hope you got your wings.. and when I see you we will dance again like we use to and you can give me a twirl …..
Always and forever, your monster girl
