Rest Easy, Daddy

It’s not the date

It’s the missing

It’s the way you left

It’s the unfairness of it all

But resting easy

But not being in pain

Eternally watching over us

Visiting me in my dreams

Loving me with all your heart in memories of my childhood

That makes thinking of you better.

The fact as I age I notice similarities between us

That keeps me rooted to you.

The genes and reminders

The fact is I’ll love you forever

And I’ll never forget you…
