To Dad

 

I remember all the good times

That we all once had,

And every Christmas that comes along,

Now doesn’t seem  so bad.

 

But once upon a time,

On every Christmas ever,

All your family sat around

Thought of your and grieved.

 

Whilst you’re up there in heaven

And we’re still earth bound,

I still feel you around us

And know that you’re around.

 

You’ve calmed me down so many times

And shared my many tears,

But now and then when I’ve felt depressed

You’ve chased away my fears.

 

I think you know all about us

And our ever-changing lives,

But would we tell a different tale

If you were still alive?

 

I miss you so very much,

You, my only day

I can’t help feeling sorry

And sometimes feel quite sad.

 

But life foes on and once again,

Another Christmas day,

You must have been a special man

For God to take away.

 

Now perched upon your piano,

An ode I’ve written for you.

An anniversary of Christmas eve

I felt I had to do.
