Memorial Poem to Dad

by Gill West
(Kent, UK)

Written in memory of my dear Dad who passed away some years ago but have shared with many friends over the years in their times of sorrow.




Memories


It's hard to find the words to say
Exactly how I feel
Sometimes when sad I shed a tear
But know that time will heal

It wasn't very long ago
That I could talk to you
We'd share a joke, a worry too
We'd know just what to do

I can't imagine where you are
But hope it's somewhere calm
Away from fear, no pain or hurt
Quite safe from any harm

I want to say I miss you
Because you can't be here
But then I know you're in my heart
Those memories are so dear

Goodnight, God bless, I won't forget
Your face, your smile, your touch
To know that you are now at peace
Will always mean so much
