My Shining Knight Poem by Audrey Heller

Just before I retired for the night,
you came into my mind, before, I
turned out the light. Lying on my
pillow, I felt vey sad, for tomorrow,
was fathers day and I missed you,
dad! It's a time to celebrate, going
to dinner and such, these are the
things, I miss so much! Now, no
longer, can I take part in this, or
see your smiling face. If you only
knew, how I looked forward, to this
day, as you were my saving grace.
What it meant to me, just to sit with
you and talk. Even when you weren't
feeling well, I never heard you squawk.
Still you managed, to tell a joke or two
and kept the moment light. That's the
kind of person you were, as you are
and always, will be, my shining knight!
