Miss You Dad… Poem by Kiran Kumar Reddy

I wish I had my dad by my side.
Just thinking of him makes me cry.

Never being able to get to know him,
Hurts me inside everyday that goes by.

The stories I hear,
To my eyes they bring a tear.

Before I had to say good-bye,
I wish with him I had more time.

My aunt lets me know how much he cared,
Since I was too young to have my own memories to share.

Seeing pictures of him I want to know,
Why so soon he had to go.

Good things that he did to help someone else,
Hearing about that just makes my heart melt.

I just hoped that the time with him could have been longer,
Because I know he was a loving husband and father.

I am sad that we are apart,
I miss my dad with all my heart…

Yours Loving Son,
Kiran.
