- If there was a way - something I could maybe say - <br />If I could only see him here, once again; <br />Hear his grand laugh - see his comforting grin - <br />God, I know I should've been there more - <br />So much now I want to ask... things I truly need him for; <br />Oh, but then I was always too busy running - <br />I suppose I'm running, from myself, still. <br /> <br />Ofcourse it's all now in the setting sun - <br />He has gone on ahead... crossed over the hill, and finished his run; <br />Yet, I do believe, someday, by the grace of God, <br />I too shall ride that final trail <br />When death gives me the last nod - <br />Then at long last we again shall meet face to face <br />With a wonderful embrace. <br /> <br />But, until that destined time <br />I pray I find <br />A way to be, when it's all said and done, <br />A better father, than I ever was a son. <br /> <br />I love you Dad - <br />I think about you every day - <br />I miss you more <br />Than I can ever find words to say.<br /><br />Smoky Hoss<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/dad-159/
