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, 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
