…..DAD……

if I could write a story it would be the greatest ever told

of a kind and loving dad who had a heart of gold

I could write a million pages

but still be unable to say just how

much I love and miss him

every single day

I will remember all he had taught me

I’m hurt but won’t be sad

because he’ll send me down the answers

and he’ll always be my dad
