Love Poem: To My Father

To My Father

My last words to you were, "I love you."  Those were your last words to me
on the phone. You were in Miami. The night we spoke you were rushed to the hospital. Your life was no more. The Angels carried you to a much better place than this Earth could ever give you. I remember when you bought my first bike, and I was afraid to ride. It was my first time, riding and you gently pushed and I started to peddle. Wow what a Joy that was. Me and my father, enjoying a moment of triumph.

 My Dear Father I missed you today.
I still can't believe you slipped away.

Your caring voice on the telephone.
To always make sure I made it home.

 Your sound advice you always shared.
In each word said you deeply cared.

 Your three sons are thinking of you.
Friends and family, they are too.

 Your presence now is what I feel.
You're not forgotten. You're here and 
real.

 Your last words to me I shall not forget,
"I love you son." Is what you said.

 The memories of you will always be.
Inside my heart in every beat.

 Until our paths will meet again.
This heartfelt love to You I send.
