Losing A Dad. Poem by David Boyce

Losing a Dad.

Like a dagger to the heart,
Full of excruciating pain,
Enough to make a grown man cry,
And drive you all insane.

Taken away so quickly,
So many questions of, Why? ,
You feel so deep with sorrow,
No chance to say your goodbyes.

With family around you,
To console the loss you've had,
It's so hard for a child to accept,
Losing a loving Dad.

The pain will take many years,
To accept they are not here,
But they are with you on spirit,
Every time you shed a tear.
