I Miss You, Daddy
I miss your tender call,
Your pleasant voice of the father,
I miss you picking me up when I fall,
I miss all the time spent together.
I miss your parental advice,
I miss your wise words,
I miss you teaching me how to be nice,
And how to fly free like the wildest birds.
I miss you telling me that I was wrong,
But also that is normal to make some mistakes,
I miss you telling me; be strong,
You son, have got what it takes!
I miss you walking me to school,
I miss playing together,
I miss you placing in my hand first tool,
I miss you. I miss you so much, my dear father!
I miss the evenings waiting for you to come from work,
I miss reading from the scriptures,
I miss your stories that were scattering the dark,
I miss all the memories, all the black-and-white, old pictures.
I miss you praying with me,
Holding my hand, both of us kneeling,
Nobody took care of me like thee,
I miss you, a bittersweet feeling.
I miss your laughter I miss your tears,
I miss the good days and the hardest ones too,
I miss you sometimes pulling my ears,
I love you, Daddy, I’ll always miss you!
I miss so many unspoken words,
So many things that I failed to see,
I miss the Easter and Christmas cards,
I miss you, Daddy, but you’re always with me!
