I wish I had my dad by my side <br />Just thinking of him makes me cry <br />Never being able to get to know him <br />Hurts me inside everyday that goes by <br />The stories I hear <br />To my eyes they bring a tear <br />Before I had to say good-bye <br />I wish with him I had more time <br />My mom lets me know how much he cared <br />Since I was too young to have my own memories to share <br />Seeing pictures of him I want to know <br />Why so soon he had to go <br />Good things that he did to help someone else <br />Hearing about that just makes my heart melt <br />I just hoped that the time with him could have been longer <br />Because I know he was a loving husband and father <br />I am sad that we are apart <br />I miss my dad with all my heart<br /><br />chidiebere franklin<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-loving-dad/
