My Special Dad

As Father’s Day came and went I couldn’t seem to start To write my feelings down for you So deep within my heart. It’s so difficult to say it all With so many passing years You were here dad for me always Through happiness and tears. I think about my childhood, My dad so tall and strong How lucky I have always been For our tightly woven bond. I remember as a little girl The special poems you’d read You took time from your busy life To fill so many needs. When we came home late at night You’d carry me to bed So many special memories That I’ve never really said. I love you dad, and always will Thanks for being who you are For loving, caring, working hard You’re the very best by far! (My dad is gone now, and has been for many years. I wrote this poem while I could give it to him. He loved it!)
