Dearest Daddy
Disguised in melancholy
my thought is barren today
yesterday was my late Dad's BirthDay
oh really, i miss him still in a way
a way so infrequently
i can not currently put it up with me
he is so cute, patient and tender
every being is not like him, no matter the gender
given this wonderful life, will
gratitude fill my heart still
quite deep inside a little nibble gently
tolerance is a different song
but it is love completely, never wrong
how I wish my beloved dad talks to me again
his art tells me of all these, not in vain
i proudly present it on the mantelpiece
every time i pray oft, may he rest in peace
i'll never forget you, daddy dearest
i am sure yesterday you would be happiest

TODAY, Monday 20 Oct 2014, posted on 22nd March for PF, now especially for dearest sis Meggie on HP, thank you so much. As a response to your comment and question, I post this now, here on HP
that was not the same poem, I wrote two on the dates, resp. 21st March and then for PF, realizing I was one day too late, this poem.
