My Dad died of a massive stroke at age 54 on New Years Day 2002....I miss him very much. I'm doing ok....everything is just strange and kind of surreal feeling to me. I want to share one of two poems I wrote my parents for there anniversary on July 20, 2000. This is the one I wrote for Dad....I love you Dad....Love Bridge Papa I love you In all your ways Let me see the ladybug You and I found today Can we go sledding?? Out in the clean white snow My wooden sled it is red Down the hill we go Today I ride my tricycle Around and around I go Circling the house outside Singing songs I know You watch me out the window And wave and smile at me This I love about you As I go around and sing Today we go to DisneyWorld And ride fast through a mountain It goes really fast through space It was so much fun I thought We went to visit Mommy Wow I have a little brother I thought he'd be a girl Can I hold him please?? Sitting on the couch I hold him in my lap I in pink with a big cheesy grin You aim and click Daddy today I get a bike You pick it out with me We brought one home A banana bike it be You and I love ice cream Dad To Dairy Queen we go Mom gets a shake, and you get a cone Me, I love butterscotch sundaes I'm growing older every year Childhood passing through But, I love you Dad For I am still your little girl You've seen me through a lot School plays you came to see And graduate I did too Both you captured on video Hey Dad I start college soon I am so excited Because I hope to be a teacher I hope I finish soon This weekend we go to Hope To dig and play in the dirt A ride or two, 4 wheeling we go My younger brother he's there too We sit by the fire I talk and talk and talk You say a lot of interesting things I learn from you so much It's so quiet and peaceful Except for brother teasing me Watching this fire with you Lets roast a marshmallow or two These days you let me know What you want for me My boyfriend is a dork You say, "I'll take him mining" Some time has gone by Still in college plugging away I hope to be a teacher Someday maybe Dad you drive me to work Sometimes from school For in the winter It gets soo dang cold Wow I met this great guy today He works with me Dad I just know you'll love him For he's nice and sweet It is so strange But I decided today That this is the time I will be moving away I talked about it so long I will be going to Oregon As I said a few years ago Give me a hug Dad I will be ok In all of my life You have been my Dad Through highs and lows You love me so It's funny how you tease me I tell everyone it's cuz you love me For I let them know if you ignore They best stay away for you don't like them This day I write you Dad And tell you how I feel Hugs and kisses I send Without you it would be unreal I love you so much and always will "Somewhere, somehow, it should be possible to touch someone and never let go again. To hold someone, not for a moment but forever." Unknown [This message has been edited by Justbleu (01-26-2002 03:40 AM).] |

I'm so sorry you lost your dad, Bridget - especially at such a young age... Your poem is a truly wonderful tribute to the great relationship you had with him... You're surely expressing your sincere feelings here - and doing it in style - It's a wonderful piece...  This is, of course, a discussion forum - Wouldn't you like to share this in a poetry forum where it will receive more attention?... God Bless, Bridgette |

oh my gosh, I am sorry to hear this bad news.  My father has heart problems and already had a heart attack and a stroke, so he is in bad shape and will not live much longer the doctors say. I will be a wreck the day he passes on. (hugs) Feel better soon because dad is always with you in spirit. email me anytime if u want to talk.Joanna |

Your dad is watching down on you and your family, Bridget. This poem is so sweet--your family must be so close. You all will be in my prayers.  God bless America, my home sweet home. |
