POEM - For you my dad

For you my dad

For you my dad
Today we pray
Because you’re missed
Here everyday

We pray for you
Every morning
To help me through
With everything

We miss your laughs
We miss the jokes
You brought me up
To be a good bloke

The love you gave
Can’t be replaced
Nor can the smile
Off of your face

We pray for you
Last thing at night
When the moon glows down
And the stars so bright
