Another Year, Missing You

Here we go, another year has passed,
So many things still remind me of you,
And I can't believe time has gone by so fast.

It's still hard to see the picture of your face,
Listen to singers who seem to have your voice,
But what hurts worse, is never again feeling your embrace.

I miss all the good times, Hell, even the bad,
Because even though there were tears and pain,
I still had my strong, loving dad.

And I sit, and do what I do every year,
Look at your picture, sing sad songs,
And wish so desperately that you were still here.

I love you so much, it's more than I can bear,
To not be able to talk to you,
And the way you'd playfully scare.

But more than anything I miss all of you,
What made you my dad,
Yet, somehow every year, I manage to pull through.

I miss you, and I wish you'd come home,
But I know the day will arrive,
When to the afterlife with you I'll come.
