DAD

lost in my youth
barely knowing your touch
maybe that's the reason
i crave you so much

so much attention
and tenderness to share
i lost you in youth
but you've always been there

your spirit was there
to keep me warm
i may have lost you
but you always came home

i remember your pain
it was easier to let go
but you'll always be needed
just so you know

i hope to make you proud
i miss you dad
i cry out of happiness now
not because I'm sad

your memory lives on
and will everyday
our family is growing
so we need you to stay !.
