Missing You


To my father who fouth in 3 wars and died knowing how to live life. Miss you and love you Daddy. Susan








Fresh cut flowers for your grave
and the flag to show your pride.
Remorse, pain, and regret I try to stave
those unshed tears I attempt to hide.

There is no comfort in reading the lines
which are etched in concrete at the base.
There is but a hollow spot this day defines
and this desperate coldness, hard to erase.

Sleep on, dear father, soldier grand.
I dare not weep for fear you'll see.
Instead I'll recall a strong warm hand
and that gentle soul who nurtured me.
