I Wish he Was Still Alive

The Poem below was written several years after my father passed away from throat cancer. It was written in June 1997

 The years pass by
and the pain is still there
It is no as strong or as rampant as at first
It doesn’t get easier it seems to remain the same at certain times

You wish he was here
So you could share
In his great knowledge and wisdom once again
So you could ask for guidance
or so you could just talk

The more you think about him the more you wish he was here
So you could hear them talk and laugh with you.

But inside you know that you are the way you are because of him
He guided you and molded you to be like him
He gave you your values and your views.

Therefore he will always be part of you
And will Always be with you
Because parts of him are inside you forever.
