Losing You Poem by Audrey Heller

To me, you were the most unselfish man,
I had ever known! Dignified, independent,
determined to be on your own. Asking so
little, but giving so much, that was the way
you were. Never creating a disturbance,
or even a little stir. Afraid to disturb me,
for fear you might intrude. Somehow,
you managed, to always be, in a
pleasant mood! That's what made you
so special, in all that you did. And even
today, it brings a smile to my face, when
I think of how you called me kid! They
say time heals all wounds, no doubt,
that saying is true. But until that time
will come along, my thoughts, will
remain with you. Of course, I know
this is quite natural, feeling as I do.
For I not only lost a very dear friend,
I lost a great father too!
