Remembered Always: A Father's Day Poem
Joy, when I think of happy times.
Sadness, remembering they will happen no more.
A place, a movie, a song,
all bring back memories
of times long gone.
I still hear your laughter and see your smile.
I remember all you taught me
when I was a child.
The joy outweighs the sadness.
Most days.
I know this is as it should be, and you would want it that way.
Because you always told me not to worry,
live life to the fullest,
don't be in a hurry!
I relied on you,
right to the end.
With dignity and strength, you made death fight to win!
You are remembered, Diddy.
We miss you always,
and thank of you with love, this Father's Day.

Post a CommentOh this is beautiful - I'm not much on poetry (can't write worth beans myself) but the wonderful relationship shows in these words.
I have no doubt that your father would have gotten a kick out of your writing. This is a lovely tribute to a special man.
Well written poem. Very expressive and well written,, Thanks for sharing
Such nice memories...you are very lucky! :)
This is beautiful. Thank you for sharing Angel.
I'm glad you had a good father and wonderful memories, not everyone can experience this.
So beautiful and he would be very proud!!
Thanks, Justice! I needed that!
No regrets, Angel! I believe he has already read your entire body of work, and did indeed get a kick out of them (including this fine tribute)!
One thing I regret, is that I started my writing after he was gone. I think he would have got a kick out of my stories!
