I Miss You Dad

 

I miss you Dad.

I miss talking to you on the phone,

Even when you couldn't hear me.

I miss the quiet confidence 

Of knowing  you'd always pick up.

I miss hearing the wisdom

Borne of a thousand conversations.

I miss hearing that change in tone

As you spoke about your girl.

I miss seeing you

Hold the door.

I miss the comfort of having you

Always in my court.

I miss sparring with the man

Who taught me how to think.

I miss the blanket of love

That encased each and every second.

I miss you.

I miss you.

I love you.
