Poems of Missing Dad

The following poems can be read for anything, including a compliment, a letter, or simply read to yourself for words of comfort.

“A Great Soul” by Maya Angelou
“A great soul
serves everyone
all the time.
a great soul
will never die.
brings us closer
again and again.”

“There is a special place in my heart for him”
“There is a special kind of feeling
When I think of you dad
It’s a pleasure to remember
All the happy times we had
There is a special kind of care
This was made just for you
There’s a place somewhere
Inside my heart
that only you can own
Missing you always”

“My Father, My Father” by Dakota Ellerton
“My father, my father,
i love him so much,
my father, my father,
made me see,
how beautiful this world really can be.
my father, my father,
told me,
my daughter, my daughter,
pay close attention,
I won’t be around forever and there are things that must happen.
my father, my father,
don’t die on me. “

“Away” by James Whitcomb Riley
“I cannot say and I will not say
That he’s dead, he just got out.
With a happy smile and a wave of the hand
He wandered in an unknown land;
And left us dreaming that very fair
His needs must be, since he remains there.
And you, oh you, who else craves
From the old-time pass and the happy return
Think of him getting along like baby
In love there, as in love here
Think of him still in the same way, I say;
He’s not dead, he’s just gone.”

“Moments Before” by Kelly Horn
“Moments before our walk that afternoon,
I realized that the passerby ended very early.
Not enough to hold your hand,
this amazing person, this loving man.
Not enough to catch your eyes
and remember that he is always full of pride.
Not enough to be by your side,
how he was by my side after every violent tide.
Not enough to laugh with him yet,
after every bad joke,
after each difficult climb.
There’s not enough time to walk with this man,
who taught me to be the person I am.
In all the walks I’ve taken in my life,
first as a girl and now as a woman,
I’ll remember that walk I took with my father
and I will always wish it could have been longer.”
