I know it was a dream but still it felt so real. <br />My dad was right here next to me, his arms I can still feel. <br /> <br />He asked me how I'm coping and if I felt alright. <br />I cried and tried to tell him ''Dad, I'm just so sad tonight.'' <br /> <br />I told him of my lonliness and of my crazy fears. <br />I told him all the things he's missed with me throughout the years. <br /> <br />He said that he had been here, he knew just how I felt. <br />He said that he was proud of me and by my bed he knelt. <br /> <br />He prayed for my forgiveness for all the pain I had. <br />All I could do was hold him and say ''I'll always love you Dad.'' <br /> <br />He sat in the recliner that was always left for him. <br />He watched until I fell asleep but left the lights on dim. <br /> <br />He whispered in my ear ''I'll always be around''. <br />I woke up disappointed...an empty chair was all I found. <br /> <br />The air was thick with his cologne. I heard him call my name. <br />Since last night I know for sure I'll never be the same.<br /><br />Mary Nagy<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/i-had-a-visit-from-my-dad-last-night-2/
