Appreciation

I would have called my Dad today

I can hear him say Hello

We would have talked of trees and bees

And fun projects.

We would talk about philosophies

If you would call them that

The best part is we would talk

“What are you up to Dad?”

“Just Breathin…” he would say

Now that I’m the one left breathin

A lump comes to my throat

And a smile of the hours spent

Laughing at Dad’s jokes

I love you Dad

I still hear you

You are with me in the trees

And all the hours spent

Forever in Memory.
