Thank you for shareing this peoms. Last year I had my dad with me on Father's day, and a month later he was gone. Now I don't have him this year, and I miss him so much. You never know the miss of someone you love until they are gone. Life is short, and we never know when our time is up to close our eyes in death, the main thing is be ready to go, Don't be caught dead without Jesus in your life. My dad was a great man of God, and I know Dad is rejoicing in heaven, and Someday we will be together again. Our family circle might be broken here on earth, but oneday we will have a family union in heaven.

I really liked this poem. I lost my Father,Dad seven years ago on May 15,1999. It still feels like yesterday. People would tell me it will get easier through time I don't believe it gets any easier you just learn to live with the emptiest you have. My dad and I were very close,He was my HERO. Yes,I liked this poem so much I actually read it several times. Keep up the work.

Happy Father's Day

by Tami Blackwell

Give 'em a hug, a great big kiss.
Because one day, he will be greatly missed.

My daddy has gone far away from this land,
I miss the precious touch of his loving hands.

I never knew last year was the last day,
I could look at my daddy, hug him, and say:
"I love you, Daddy! Happy Father's Day!"

Don't let one day go by without telling him
how dear he is!
Remember you may not have another year to tell him this!

All I have now is great memories, a heart
full of love and eyes full of tears, and
to remember his love throughout the years.

Now I will have to look up at the stars and
say, "I love you, Daddy! Happy Father's Day!"

Please remember when you pray, to thank your
heavenly father up above.
For your father he gave you with so much love.

"He lived, for Jesus died;
He died, for Jesus Lives."

I think that this poem says alot, I also lost my dad it will be 5 years in August and still to this day it is very hard to handle. For some reason this year it is hitting me pretty hard. I tell me husband all the time especially on Father's Day that he really needs to let is father know just how much he means to him. That not only goes for my husband, everybody needs to let their father know just how much they mean, and enjoy them while you have them because you never know just how much longer they will be around.

DeeDee

Ann

I loved this poem I lost my dad will be a year in june i never got to say bye I grew up in scotland and moved to the states so i didnt really get to see him that much but we talked on the phone almost every day I miss him so much thanks for sharing this poem

michelle

the poem was great

Jolene

I strongly feel that this poem is the one Father's Day poem which would cause many who still have their fathers alive and well to be grateful that they are still around. In spite of the stubborn stereotypes surrounding fatherhood (and fathers, in general), I believe that this poem speaks the truth about the importance of the father in the family. Such an acknowledgment of fathers is terribly long-overdue!

Tiffany

That was the sadest poem I have ever heard and like I said for another poem you took the words right out of my mouth. Ya see I just lost my dad five months ago. Actually today my class made faters day cards and its really hard to not be able to perticipate. Thank u for letting me read your poem.

samantha

i know how you feel i lost my daddy when i was 10. He was murder by 3 guyz over drugs. i miss my father very much and when i read your poem it made me think of my father and how he use to touch me and tell me everything was gonna be okay but to this day all i do have is tears i never had memories my dad was never home but i loved so dearly and its been 5 years but im still surviven so heres my advice to you keep your head up he dont wanna see your cry you wants you to proceed your dreams.

Natasha

My son lost his father almost a year ago. The last time my son and I saw his father was Father's Day. He died less than a month after that. This poem fits everything so well. My son misses his dad so much. I do too! We loved him very much and its sad to say but he never knew how much. He too thought no one loved him or believed in him. On 07/16/2004 - he suffered a seisure and died. Unexpectedly. Leaving us and the rest of the people who loved him. Thank you for this poem - it is excellent because it needs to let people know that we never know when our last time to speak, hug, talk or listen is. You never know when its too late.

shanteria
