Here’s a Poem I wrote for Fathers Day, not everyone had a great father but I did so some may have mixed feelings about this day, as people do for Mothers Day and other special days people celebrate on Facebook which can bring sadness to some in fact, remember that, have good day
Fathers Day Thoughts
dear Dad I miss you so much
I remember all the days
as a little girl I would roller skate up and down the path
waiting for your return
from work in town
sometimes a present you would bring
some tropical fish
for my tank
they survived the journey home on the train
for this I would thank!
a book to read What Katy Did and What She Did Next
A Guitar
All sorts of things
you were a lovely dad
and mum too
I couldn’t have wished for nicer folk
to be my mum and dad
you were kind and generous
calm and kind
sorted my problems
soothed my troubled mind
I remember Christmas time walking our dog Trixie
and checking the Christmas Trees in the windows
which was best
we put them to the test
playing golf in the garden
and tennis too
badminton ball games
just me and you and brother and mum
we did have some fun
swimming in the sea
you’d say come on in!
it was cold and id shiver
and dither
but would go for a swim
you would stand on your head
and crossed leg in yoga pose
and that was a way to relax
and ease the mind
of troubled times
then my children you gave much love
with fun and games and silly names
jokes aplenty
funny old songs
cockney songs and Vera Lynne
that was your thing
playing the keyboard
and guitar with a song
reading books
and dancing round
they just loved to play
and be the clown
with Grandad
Those days of happiness now memories in my heart
my childhood days and those of my children too
seem the best years I would have and been through
The children have grown
they have flown
a husband mean never to be seen
and you and mum at peace
dancing in heaven
to George Gershwin band
the song you sang which stays in my heart
We’ll meet again
you would sing to me
and say to me we will meet again
I know we will
it has to be true
because I really do miss you
as I sit here alone
and wonder what is it all about
but there is no doubt
you were the dearest father a girl could have
and the memories are treasured in my heart
til we meet again….
dear dad
and mum too …
