_____ Heartfelt Wish _____

My heart is so heavy,

my feelings you'll never

know,

as it was your time to go.

Not one for endearments.

I thought we had the time

to express our love, yours

and mine.

Now through my tears.

I try to explain,

to take away your

children's sorrow and pain.

"Daddy is still here I say.

"He's with you all the

time."

"Just talk to him he'll

listen and try to answer

you some way."

I'll be here to protect

them,

though my pain is new and

raw.

I'll never be able to fill your

shoes,

to them I'll just be Pappa.

So it is my heartfelt wish,

that somehow these things

you know.

I loved you very dearly,

even though it didn't show.

So now I will go on,

till it is my day.

Then you can come to

meet me

and held guide my way.

..... Dad
