"Missed"

Dear Dad, 

I've missed you now, I've missed you forever

Why did you say you would leave me never?

You left this world like you've been excused

My heart aches, it feels so abused

It hurts so badly, my goodness sakes!

I don't know how much more of this I can take

I was eight when you passed, but I remember it all

I danced on your toes; you wouldn't let me fall

I don't sense your presence, not even your grace

And when I dream, I can't see your face

It's as if I'm crazy, no signs of your existence

You're too far away, it's like a never-ending distance 

You were my father, my very best friend

It hurts to know you've gone to the end

I'll make you proud in all that I do

Forever remember, Dad! I love you

Your little angel, 

Jesse
