Dada, memories of you only grow stronger

I could tell you how much I miss you But then, you know that’s not new Your memory only gets stronger As every year passes through. There’s not a day that passes by That you’re not in thought and prayer A memory engraved in my heart Loving thoughts I’d always bear. I wish I could’ve said goodbye, That early morning when you left Told you how much I love you And that you were the very best. Tears I cry in solitude And thoughts I hold of you Wishing you were beside me To see the days pass through I wish you could see your grand kids And teach them all you knew Tell them you love them And make them feel brand new. I know you are with Jesus Your faith always so strong A heavenly abode with Mother Mary Is now where you belong. The years don’t make it easier They say the pain would go But that’s so far from the truth As every day I miss you more. Your loving daughter, Shima
