The pain is there Dad though it has been years,
If only you
hadn’t gone away.

My eyes still are filled with tears,
If only you could wipe

Why did you have to go Dad?
If only it was just the pain that went

Thinking about it makes me sad,
If only you knew how much I miss you each
day.

Never knew that my time with you was so less,
If only you could stay with me

The ways of life I can hardly guess,
If only I could be stronger.

If only I could see your proud smile.
Life

Note: Dedicated to my Dad who died of cancer on this day 14 years ago. From the past few years I have decided to write him a poem on this day.
Beautifully expressed, Reema. He must be so proud to have a beautiful daughter like you. God bless you.
Thank you Neha 🙂
Reema, I hope you remember my comment on your letter to your dad. Your dad surely watches you, and is proudly beaming, telling the angels that you're his lovely daughter.
Yes, the pain cannot go away completely. But the strength to bear it can increase. I do hope that you stay strong, and keep achieving laurels in all spheres of life, to keep your mom and dad both proud.
God bless, and do take care 🙂
Thank you Mithila for your kind words 🙂
God bless you dear. Your strength and love is inspiring…
Thank you 🙂
Touching. This poem shows that your Dad is still alive and watching over him. You've brought him back:)
Thank you for your words 🙂
this is so touching. As a father of four daughters I can relate to the sadness–I hope I have many years ahead to share with them. I also lost my father to cancer 25 years ago. There's not a day that goes by that I don't think of him.
