If I Could Only See You Poem by Audrey Heller

If I could only see you, for just a
little while, to gaze upon your face,
with that very friendly, smile! The
way your eyes would twinkle, when
a joke, you started to tell, you were
so convincing, for you told them, very
well! I remember the day you caught
me off guard with this story, you had
down pat. It was a very sad story,
about this poor, unfortunate little cat!
I fell right into it and asked, the right
questions, I was baited for. After when
I heard the answers, we laughed so
hard, I almost hit the floor! Telling jokes,
was your forte, for you managed to keep
a straight face and if you would have
entered a contest, it's for certain, you'd
take first place! When I remember all
these wonderful times, we had together,
is it any wonder, I miss you so? Now,
it's gone, but I carry on, till that day comes,
when it's my turn to go! So until that day
I'll keep remembering, all the happy and
fun times, we shared. For I'm sure you
knew, how much I loved you and still, love
you dad!
