Dad

They say
I should remember you today
But don’t
They know I miss you every day?
And hear
Your voice although you went away
They say
This is a time for contemplation
But don’t
They know the train has left the station?
To hear
Your voice when I need confirmation
Would be
The very best of gifts, if sad
They call
It Father’s Day
I just miss my dad
