Poem for my lovely dad who died aged 58 years.

Thank you all so very very much. My youngest son reminds me of my dad. Such genuine kind nature. Sometimes when he looks at me and smiles then I can feel my dads presence and a warm invisible wrap goes around me. I miss my dad so much yet he was gone when I was a teenager.🤗

whywhywhy - what a beautiful tribute to your much loved Dad 🥲

I too lost my Father, 42 years ago, very young, on January 7th, just 3 weeks after his 59th birthday. He built me and my brother a wonderful sledge, green top on bright red runners, went like a rocket with his weight on it! Subsequently gave it to my Grandchildren a few years ago.
I never got to say goodbye and so wish I could have a chat with him again.
Love your tribute and feel your love for your Dad.

Those are lovely words. xx

Oh, that is beautiful.

Thank you.

When it snows wonderful memories of your father will always be evoked by your poem .

Thank you whywhywhy. What a beautiful tribute to your Dad, it's made me quite tearful. My Dad lived to the ripe old age of 94 , he died 8 years ago and I still miss him but this has reminded me of all the love and care he gave me over the years.

Thank you 🤗

That is so moving, I shed a tear. My dad died suddenly when I was only young as well.
I kept his reading glasses in their case.
Thanx for this 🥰🥰

A beautiful tribute to your beloved Dad, whywhywhy.

That's really lovely; thank you for sharing it whywhywhy.

That's beautiful. Always loved and remembered by you. Especially when it snows 🌨

Love this beautiful poetic expression of love for your dad. Gosh...over 50 years ago but the memories go deep. He gave you personality! Enjoy the snow and all the sledging...(once u find the sledge!) Xxx

Thank you all so much.

WWW you've inspired me to write something similar for my own dad, who fortunately was not particularly young when he died but nor was he as old as I had expected him to be.

I wish he had seen his two DGDs married and met their DHs and my two GCs - he'd have loved them both, and they him.

My DD also built me a sledge - the fastest in the street - and the strongest swing ever (made of tree trunks). Four of us could hand on it together!

What a wonderful tribute to your Dad

Thank you for reading. Dad died back in 1971. I was only young and it was sudden due to cancer.
