It hurts me to say
I miss you more and more every day.
You had to go
I did not understand
All I wanted was one more time to hold your hand.
I thought you would be in my life
As we both grew older.
Little did I know I would not have your shoulder
To lean on as I grew
To help me through
This melodrama called life.
Oh how I miss you so.
Why I would ask myself at first
Did you have to go?
I was young and naive.
I had no idea how to grieve.
Now I have grown into a woman
Who would make you proud,
Although the little girl in me
Still chooses to talk to you out loud.
Dear Daddy-
I now know
Why you had to go.
I will love you forever
I just had to tell you so.
Be well Daddy.
I have so many wonderful things to share.
For now until it is my time
Please remember how much I care

Sad
Hi!
Dear Samantha68
This is a very sad poem.
The important time between childhood and adulthood brings kids to share life of their parents. In some reasons people lost their dearly loved ones as they grew up to discover the beauty of wacha ma callet…… FAMILY.
I can feel it, because I know how that is.
Thanx for sharing!
