Daddy

How I wish you were alive
To see me now that I am five
I’ve grown a lot as you will see
When you are looking down at me.

I miss you now that you are gone
And all the things that we have done
I miss you arms that held me tight
The kiss and cuddle last thing at night.

If I fell you’d dry my tears
When darkness fell you’d calm my fears
All the games we used to play
Don’t feel the same now you’ve gone away.

You’d tickle me until I’d wriggle
Pull silly faces to make me giggle
You’d take me for walks and to the park
To see the fireworks in the dark.

No one will ever take your place
Mummy helps me to remember your face
Even though we lived apart
I always knew I was in your heart.

Mummy says you are now a star
That shines on me from afar
All my toys I would have gladly given
If God had not taken you to Heaven.

I still have to ask my Mummy why
You went to live up in the sky
She says it’s because you were ill
I love you Daddy and always will.

Daddy, how I wish you were alive
Not just for now that I am five
I wish that you had lived forever
To do the things we did together.

When you've finished...
