This is a poem I wrote for my father a few years before he died. It was also my first published poem...It was included in his memorial cards... The dedication of the poem read this... To My Dad, The Most important man in my life...
DAD
Through good and bad
When I was sad
Or happy or Confused.
When times were tough
and things were rough
There's no time you refused.
A gentle hand
A loving man
Would rub my crying head.
And all the ghosts
That hurt me most
Would disappear instead.
For all the times I Should have thanked
Or all the times He should of Spanked
Are Very far and few.
For this is the day
That I want to say
"I LOVE YOU"
By Irene Ida Berube
YOU ARE SO MISSED DADDY... not a day goes by without thinking about you...
