Memorial Day Poem for My Fallen Daddy

For Daddy

Sue Six
Memorial Day poems
Often for soldiers
Worthy of our gratitude

Driving in your old pink truck
Wave from my window
Did you see me wave, Daddy?

Memorial Day poems
Honor our heroes
Who honors fallen daddies?

Hay wagon, an accident,
The spine, coma.
Snap your fingers, childhood's over

Memorial Day poems
Blessings to our troops
Grateful for their sacrifice

Daddy, did you go away?
Never said goodbye
I still find you in my heart

Growing up, we moved all the time. I kept up that tradition as an adult, living in several countries working as an English teacher, and at home in the USA doing all kinds of things.  View profile

    Great submission Sue!! What a wonderful submission to honor your Dad... I am a Content Producer at AC with over 3,100 pieces of published content (and slowly working my way up to two million page views). If you keep writing like this, you'll soon bypass me! Great job and welcome to AC!!
