Letter To Dad

I wrote this poem on June 19th, four months away from the three-year anniversary of my dad's death.

I got up the courage

and looked at the calendar today.

In just a few months, 

you'll have been gone for three years.

I'm sorry I've only been

to your grave once or twice.

I know you're not there,

but I feel like I'm neglecting you.

I hope that you knew

how much I loved you.

I hope that you knew

that you were my hero.

My best friend.

My role model.

And I hope that you know

that I miss you.
