For Dad Poem by Phil Soar

The night is such a dark and lonely place
I close my eyes and see your haunting face
Again I reach for you in broken dreams
At times like this, life isn't all it seems

My memories of you I can reveal
My mind is like a photographic reel
The smiles, the pain, the heartache, will not fade
But leave all my tomorrow's in the shade

I cry a tear or two for memory's sake
These feelings deep inside I cannot fake
A part of me has gone without a trace
Until I close my eyes and see your face
