I come here to be close to you Wanting your presence near But the sweet songs of the birds Is all that I can hear They tell me not to worry They tell me not to cry As I place some of my flowers Down at your graveside Nearly two years have passed Since you were taken from me But my memory stays so very strong Just as I'd hoped it would be I never will forget you I think I've finally realised That you won't be coming back To stand before my weeping eyes They say that time will heal And now I seem to understand why But please don't think I've forgotten you If I don't feel the need to cry My life has moved along Like a river it does run And I know that what you'd wish for me Would be to enjoy life and have fun Dad, I've put my thoughts on paper Somewhat of a poet I'm now known And I hope you would feel proud of me As I wonder if you'd have known? That my feelings come from deep within I put them out for all to see What you read in all of my writing Is from the heart and soul of me Suetang |

Suetang, even though the pain and sadness is still there, you seem to be healing and looking ahead. Lots of hugs for you. Loved this poem to your Dad. You can bet he is proud! ME |
