Dad

A great good sadness fills my soul
to know that I shall
never hold your hand again or
see that smile
or laugh 'til tears come streaming down to leave us
weak and crumpled heaps upon the floor
gasping for relief.
A great good sadness fills my soul
for I know
within its inmost part
it will hold your tender touch, your crooked smile,
your eyes filled full with laughing tears,
until the sadness fades into
Sweet memory
