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
