Watching the trees blowing in the wind leaves and twigs falling to the ground. Thoughts of you racing through my mind oh how I wish you were still around. Remembering the fun we had together and how you loved me so. I thought it would last forever my feelings I would never show. As a child there was always joy with lots of laughter and love. At times you probably wished I was a boy not your sweet turtle dove. When you became ill and passed away I was so sad and full of grief. My nights and days seemed so grey yet for you, I know it was a relief. You are in my thoughts each and every day and some day we will be together. So I wrote this poem for you, Dad to tell you I will love you forever and ever. |

Ah, Jos: This is a wonderful tribute to your Dad. How blessed you are to have such a beautiful relationship with him. You must miss him very much. Love, Ellie A friend hears the song in my heart, and sings it to me when my memory fails. |

Yes, I was very fortunate to have a special bond with my late Father. He was 52 years old when I was born,but for some reason I had a better relationship with him than I did with my Mother when I was growing up.After five sons then finally me, he always said his family was complete after I was born.I miss him terribly, although it is nine years since he died. He was in his 90th year. Jos |

I'm sure your father is touched with this piece of work, wherever he may be now. Outstanding! The best poetry comes from the heart! ~~Jamie   I mean the opposite of what I say. You've got it now? No, it's the other way. ~Bruce Bennett |

This is a lovely and sweet tribute. It's hard to let go, but sometimes the most loving thing we can do. I'm sure he appreciates your love. To love another person is to see the face of God. - Les Miserables Marilyn |

Very heartwarming poem. I can relate. My dad passed from this life in 1983. Hugs, Deb |
