Happy Birthday, Dad!

My Dad

© Disarae G. Kuhn

I know this man
Who is dear to my heart
Suddenly one day
It was torn all apart

This man taught me every thing
That I needed to know
But I never really listened
Until he had to go

He gave me love
And touched my life
Its all over now
He no longer has to fight

He tried to teach me
Right for wrong
The day he left
I wasn't that strong

He is gone now
It is hard to believe
This man is my dad
Who I will never see

But I will see him again
This I know
The day will come
When its time for me to go

So, I'll hold him dear
And close to my heart
Cause the day we meet
I know we'll never be torn apart

As Jacob gets older, I wish more and more for my dad.  I wish he was here to see this amazing child, to feel his heart.  I would love nothing more than to see Jacob snuggled in with my dad telling him all about the police cars, the fire trucks, the airplanes and I know my dad would cherish every moment.  Mostly though, I wish just to hear my dad laugh one more time.  To see him smile with that twinkle in his eyes, to see him beaming with pride for us, his family.  I miss him.

Happy Birthday, Dad!  Happy Birthday Grandpa Web!
