Dad, I miss you so much…
I was a baby, I was still a cave,
I didn’t know you were gone.
I used to wonder why you left
But I couldn’t find the answer.
Your sweet words, “Daughter,”
Still ring in my ears.
It’s a pity you’re not with me anymore,
The moments I spent with you are in my heart.
The memories I remember,
Sometimes my heart feels bad.
It passed like a sweet dream, it went away,
You will always live in my heart.

What a beautiful poem! It captivated me from beginning to end. I am reminded of my relationship with my own father. Grief comes to every single one of us. Such competence and such strength by you, in this lines. I am still a daughter, a caregiver and I am grateful for every minute I have with my dad. He has given me so much. Thank you for writing this poem, this excellent tribute to your father. God bless you. Don’t stop writing.
