I Miss My Dad

IF YOU WERE HERE

If you were here, Dad
I wouldn't take notice of the stars at night
If you were here, Dad
I wouldn't look up to the heavens
to catch a glimpse of you.
If you were here, Dad
I wouldn't be sharing stories of your childhood
with your grandchildren.
If you were here,Dad
I wouldn't be reminiscing about the good times we had.
If you were here, Dad
I wouldn't be chuckling about the times you made me laugh.
If you were here,Dad
I wouldn't be shuffling and reading your old letters.
If you were here,Dad
I wouldn't be reading your bible.
If you were here, Dad
I wouldn't be so sad and empty.
If you were here, Dad
I wouldn't be talking to your picturres that are hung sporadically throughout my home.
If you were here, Dad
I wouldn't take the time to know more about your childhood and my grandparents.
If you were here, Dad
I would have never taken the initiative to go to college.
If you were here, Dad
I would have never thought to take pride in where I came from and how you raised me.
I am glad you were here, Dad
to teach me of God and introduce me to Jesus Christ.
I am glad you were here, Dad to teach me about right and wrong, about family, and dedication, and preserverance.
You are not here anymore but I still can look up to the clouds and imagine you there.
You are not here anymore but your words of wisdom, your unconditional love, your joy, your laughter is always in my memories.
I still wish you were here, Dad.
