If I could have you back
for just one day,
I’d tell you all the things
I never did say…
I’d tell you I love you
and that I always will,
I’d tell you all my joys
even my little thrills.
I’d tell you my dreams
and sadness’s too,
I’d tell you my dark secrets
that you never knew…
I’d tell you about the love
deep in my heart,
I’d tell you of the day
I was torn apart…
I’d tell you how I miss you
and wish you were here,
I’d tell you everything
I hold so dear…
If I could have you back
for just one day,
I’d find a way
to continue the stay…

Sometimes the feeling of loss and grief can overtake you in a second, leaving tears streaming down your face. Sometimes, just by a smell, like the smell of lilacs floating through the air on a cool spring evening.
Just having a bad “Miss You Dad” day…
July 4th will be five years since he's been gone, it doesn't seem that long.
