For My Dad Poem by Keli Mims

Life is just passing by,
I'm left with only a sigh,
In my life one moment,
Gone without one hint,
Now you're not here,
in your place a tear,
But in a way you're home,
In a way I'm not alone,
You're still with me,
But your face I can't see,
Your hugs I can't feel,
My heart I can't heal,
It's missing a big part,
So around my neck a heart,
So you're always with me,
Not nearly enough to see,
But enough to feel.
