Dad it has now been 5 years since you left this crazy world,
And a despair and sadness was what around us hurled,
Time has helped a little but some things can’t be replaced,
Like your advice, your laughter, your wisdom all encased,
When I am troubled I think of you and instantly I am calmed,
I feel you stand beside me and put your hand in my hand,
You lead me past the sorrow or the pain that I feel,
It’s just like you are there again and seems so real,
But then I realise you are not here by my side anymore,
I remember 5 years ago my heart being completely torn,
But I will remember you Dad like you are still here with me,
It helps me get through a lot and new light I see,
For now it’s Uncle Charlie who is heavily in my thoughts,
The pain he is enduring is tying my heart in knots,
Please help him Dad through this awful time he is having,
I am sure all the family who have passed in strength will be gathering,
To support him through and ease his awful pain,
To help him gain strength and stand tall once again,
It’s not just on your anniversary that I think of you of course,
But maybe that is the day that I just think of you the most,
Love you Dad forever until meet properly once more,
Because we all know that one day we will come knocking on that door,
But until that day please help us when we are all in need,
And I will follow in your steps a pea in a pod, your seed,
Love you Dad always and forever 💕🙏🏻April xxx
