Dear Dad,
I thought of you today,
But that is nothing new.
I thought about you yesterday,
And days before that too.
I think of you in silence,
I often speak your name.
All I have are memories,
And a picture in a frame.
Your memory is a keepsake,
From which I'll never part.
God has you in His hands,
I have you in my heart.
