Love Poem: Dear Daddy

Dear Daddy

I miss the times we used to share
When I was young, you were always there
I miss your smile, I miss your laugh
The jokes you'd  play for my behalf

I miss seeing you everyday
I miss the way we used to play
I miss the hugs, I miss the love
The way you were so high above

I miss the walks that we would take
The way you'd laugh at my mistakes 
I miss the drives you drove so wild
And the high fives they made me smile

I miss your pancakes on Sunday mornings 
It's strange to say but I miss your snoring 
I miss the fights we'd have with snow 
I missed you when you had to go

I wish I could talk to you every day
I wish I knew what words to say
I wish I was still that little girl
The girl who knew you were her world

I still hold you close in my heart
No matter how long we are apart
But I'm older now and I must learn
That love is something felt not heard
