Dad - I Miss you



SUNDAY was Father’s Day and for the first time in my life I missed my father. I never knew how much important he was to me. What all I could achieve in my life was due to him. He never questioned he never asked he just showed path. My dad I miss you.
Two months have passed
I’ll never forget the day
Someone rang to tell me
That you’d gone away

The hurt is the same
Like an open wound
There are days
I don’t utter a sound

Some days the pain is stronger
It makes me sick and weak
I can’t stand this much longer
I just sit here and weep

I’ve shut my private door
And let no one in
Locking myself in a box
They try, but I won’t give in

You were like a rock
Strong, faithful and true
What worth has my life
Now I don’t have you

I always loved you
My dad, my star
Now my pain is
To worship you from afar

I love you now
As I did back then
I just hope... one day
I will see you again

I am so proud of you
Brave and strong to the end
Now when asked “how are you?”
There is no need to pretend

We all love and miss you so much, sleep well
and take care of all who went before you

Forever in my heart x

Hi Dinesh,
I was virtually in tears after reading this. I know you as a friend, soft spoken but a strong man, who takes life seriously. I was sorry to learn about his sad demise after which I spoke to you once. I wish I could have been there by your side. Love you...miss you and treasure the time we spent together.

A beautiful poem in tribute to your Dad, Dinesh. You have my condolences, I too know the grief and pain. All you can do is live to the full in a way that would make your father proud; as you are doing :-)
