In my life for over 30 years

You bathed me, clothed me and fed me. You watched me grow from a baby, little, girl, into an argumentative teen, to a lady. Then came the day, I started my new job. I walked down the street on a sunny day, full of joy and happiness. I thought of you, as I walked every foot step. I thought this would be the opportunity to call you and share the good news with you. As I got closer to the station, I visualised you and heard what your first words would sound like. You would pick up the phone, and respond in a content tone, pleased to hear my news. You would enquire about the jobs specifics in your usual way of wanting to know the details I would pick up the phone and be filled with joy As I got closer and closer to the station, I reached for my phone My hand dug deep into a deep dark hole in my coat pocket A cold chilled circled through and around me. I awoke to reality. Your soul passed months ago and you were no longer in this world. It is now two years and your 64th birthday is around the corner. I sit here thinking you were in my life for over thirty years. I still cannot fathom life without you. I ache and yearn for you endlessly. Continue to rest in peace dad Love you for life until our souls reunite
