John WilliamBLACKWELLIt's been a while Dad, since I heard your dulcet tones Although we were never overfond of talking on the phone Which is why I'm glad that I could be there by your side When your last breath lingered, and I broke down and cried The memory feels so near although its been seven years And I'm still lost without the man who vanquished all my fears I miss your wit and insight and your gentle caring ways Your critical sensibility that enlightened all my days I still want to rush to tell you things, good news or something funny I still want to have a beer with you, when days are warm and sunny I know you're watching out for me, I feel it in my heart I only wish you were still here so I could share a part Of all the love I have for you for all the man you are My Dad, my father, and my friend, my bright and guiding star!
I miss you,
Your little one xx
