FIRST day of SPRING remembering dad,

So long my darling dad since i heard you call me love,Since you told me what a nice frock i had on,Too long since i felt your little work worn hands, Hands that had been squashed under cars and in machinery,That had made so many many things and fixed so many many more,Capable hands i will always think them.People say when you lose someone close you will get over it,I doubt it and i wouldn't want to.You just learn to live the hole they left behind i guess, It gets less often that you let yourself feel the emptiness of that hole and the tears flow.I smile now when i hear one of your songs,Its funny that a little man of five feet tall can leave such a gap in the world.I know now that i will miss you forever and thats okay because missing you is still feeling you here.The flowers are starting to bloom and the birds are busy living and in everything you are there,Happy Fathers day tomorrow my darling father,i guess you dont need the socks and slippers in heaven but i sure would love to be buying them,
