I Dream of You.

I was missing my father so I wrote this poem, trying to keep his memory alive in my head.

I remember you like you were just here,

The sound of your truck pulling into the driveway,

The sound of your boots on the steps.

Your booming voice,

And the smell of your clothes.

I remember you when I hear a saw,

And the jingle of keys,

It pulls me into the past with a smile.

I dream of you each night,

Remembering your laughter and kindness.

The little things we did together,

Like watch tv, or talk about life.

I could tell you anything and you'd understand.

I miss all these things,

If only I could bring you back,

At least you're only a dream away...
