Father’s Day without Dad
By Renate Nicholson
This Sunday is going to be so hard
No telephone call, no Father’s day card
It’s not getting easier, like they all said
I wish I could curl up and hide in my bed
But I need to make Dad happy and make him proud
Pull myself together and face the crowd
Take comfort in knowing Dad’s by my side
Living each day with Dad as my guide
When I close my eyes, I see Dad’s smile
Maybe I’ll keep them closed for a while
I love you Dad, I know you know
It’s just been so hard to let you go
But I’ll make you happy and I’ll make you proud
Take each day as it comes and face the crowd.
Happy Father’s Day!
