I miss you
sadness ever
enveloped your heart
though drown it
you verily tried
regardless
you were
good, kind
caring, loving -
an instinct
the latter
for you
experienced it
never
before
giving your
heart
to be
broken
over
and
over
till gaining
the unconditional love
of a daughter;
when you passed
and your wife gave me
the album
of pictures
you'd lovingly saved,
tucked inside -
how i cried -
were
myriad birthday
and
Father's Day cards
I'd sent
that you
kept them
meant,
I hope,
you knew
you were loved
even if
it wasn't
enough
to keep you
from drowning
your sorrows
till neither
love
nor sadness
mattered.
Now 30 years
gone,
I wish
I'd had
more years
to know you
better
to love you
longer.
I
miss
you.
