Dad Poem by Katie Reed

To My Dad

Dear dad it's been a while
Haven't heard your voice
Or even seen your smile

I really wanted to talk to you
And you couldn't answer the phone
But that always knew

The days and months have flown by
It doesn't seem that long
Although some days I still am asking why

Why I didn't spend the time
To get to know you more
Instead of always having a whine

I thought we had forever
How little did I know
I have so much to saver

I miss our time together
How excited you became
Checking on the weather

Each time we did the long drive
Awaiting was the hug so tight
And your tears as I'd arrive

All of that has gone now
Some days I do forget
Then reality is a cow

One more day
One more word
There's so much to say

I love you dad and miss you
Wish we had more time
Your days with us were to few

Your in my thoughts
And my prayers too

But I'm selfish dad I want you here
But i know I must be patient
So l live with my memories and my tears

Until this system has its end
I will have to pull on through
