Many tears I have shed
while I was missing you,
they travel beyond the Ocean
and through the skies so blue.
My memory Hides within me
of many days gone past,
these memories are forever cherished
wrapped around my heart, they'll last.
Dad, I feel A Tear trickle
down my weathered face,
I still wish you had not
ever left this empty space.

aaaaaaaaaaaaah~ You really touched my heart with this write ~ it also makes me grateful to have a Dad ~ still around to cherish.
As far as the previous contest requirements ~ that seems like it was a tough contest objective. Yet, you seemed to pull it off with a very touching emotional piece. Nice job ~
Thanks for entering my "Set the Bar" Contest ~ good luck to you ~ you did great
