Reflect on the beautiful childhood memories and think about how lucky you were to be the son or daughter of such a loving man.
1) If good things
Really happen to good people
Why did death steal away
Someone from me, so special
If Karma really comes around
Why did fate deal me this blow
Your death has stopped
My whole life’s flow
What did I do, to be pushed
Into the gallows of misery
I just can’t understand why
You were taken away from me
I miss you
2) Life is a fruit
To be squeezed to its last drop
To love and to be loved
There is no reason to stop
Life is a dessert
To be cherished all the way
I realized all of this
Only after you passed away
There is no time to waste
In a life so sweet and savory
It is a regret that it took
Your death to teach this to me
I miss you
3) I wanted you to see
My progress every year
But that isn’t possible
Now that you aren’t here
I wanted you to witness
My growth and prosperity
But now that you are away
That isn’t going to be
I wanted you to be a part
Of everything I chose to do
But now that you are gone
I can do nothing but miss you
4) I think of you
With every single heart beat
Getting you out of my head
Is going to be a tough feat
I remember you
Every time I take a breath
That’s how much I miss you
Dear dad, after your death
I reflect on your memories
Every time I blink me eye
This is the way it’s going to be
Until the day I die
5) The worst shock
The hardest experience
A cruel life lesson
The harshest occurrence
The most horrible event
Your death has been
The toughest moment
That I’ve ever seen
A bag of tears and grief
Is what I have been reduced to
You don’t know much
I have been missing you
6) Sometimes I sit on the staircase
Over which you carried me
Sometime I saunter in the patio
Where we talked languidly
Sometimes I use your study
Just to inhale your fragrance
Sometimes I wear your clothes
And cry in abundance
Sometime I watch TV
Even if it blurts white noise
Imagining you next to me
Is enough to make me rejoice
Dear dad, I think of you
Throughout the whole day
I’ve missed you so much
I can’t even begin to say
7) Dad…
Every single person
Is trying to replace
Love and care in my life
To cover for a sad phase
Everyone around me
Is helping and being nice
Making efforts to replace
A father’s true advice
They have good intentions
To help me ease my pain
But they don’t know how it feels
To never see you again
I miss you
8) I wish I hadn’t
Fought with you every day
I wish I didn’t
Behave in malicious ways
What I should’ve thought
And done instead
Is pay attention
To what you had said
But I was too busy
Everything was about me
I wish that I was
Not so selfish, daddy
I miss you
9) The best dad in the world
Has departed to Heaven
It seems God loved him too
I wasn’t the only one
If only I had spent
Some more time with him
I would’ve tried to satisfy
Myself to the brim
If only I had known
Of his death in advance
To hug him and be by his side
I wouldn’t have missed a single chance
I miss you
10) Your memories
Are all that I’ve got
If not for them
I would rot
Your blessings
Are all that I need
For a life like yours
I want to lead
You are all
That I had
You were the
Bestest dad
11) The journey of my life
Has suddenly transgressed
It feels like everything
Has abruptly regressed
All the happiness in my life
Has gone down to the pits
All moments of joy
Have broken down to bits
That path of my destiny
Has become a dead end
Because I lost a dad
Who was also my best friend
I miss you
12) Dad…
It seems surreal
That you have gone away
You were right here
Until yesterday
It seems bizarre
How life can be so fickle
Your death to me
Is heartbreakingly unreal
I miss you
13) Death is a strange thing
It teaches you the worst
And how to bear pain
When your insides burst
When you passed away
I experienced much more
Pain reverberated
From my very core
I still feel miserable
When I think of you now
Dad, the pain off your loss
I just can’t stow
14) Death can’t do us apart
Is a wedding vow
But it is something that
I want to say to you right now
Nothing can come between us
No matter how far you are
You will always be with me
In the form of a bright star
Even though you will be
Far for me to lay hands on
From my heart you will
Never ever be gone
I miss you
15) Dad…
As I live through the nightmare
That my life has become
The way it has gone sour
Straight from being awesome
As I live though the torture
Of living life alone
And spend each day and night
Feeling so lost and worn
I pray to God to give me
Strength to bear your absence
So that I can make meaning
Of my existence
I miss you
16) Flowers on the gravestone
A bejeweled photo frame
On my heart and my body
Your tattooed name
None of this is enough
To say how badly I miss you
Your abrupt absence in my life
Has left me without a clue
I miss you
17) If only I could build
A time machine
To erase everything
That I have seen
I would turn time back
To the moment when
You were right here
Life was in absolute zen
While I rant about this
My mind wakes up to reality
The grief of your dawn
Painfully dawns upon me
Dad, just thinking about you
I start to suffocate
After all, you were my father
And my best mate
18) Dad…
The little girl in me
Misses you too much
Your pat on her back
And your magical touch
The teenage diva in me
Misses your counsel
The way you dealt with her
When she was a rebel
And the adult woman in me
Misses you most
Because she has lost
Her life’s pillar post
19) I never knew that
A girl’s heart could hurt so bad
So painfully, so bitterly
When she’s lost her dad
I also never knew that
Along with tears manifold
So much grief and sadness
A girl’s eyes could hold
It is only after your death
That I have understood unwillingly
The real meanings of
Pain, sadness and melancholy
I miss you
20) When it rains
I know it’s you crying
When it thunders
I know you are shaking
When lightning strikes
I know you are angry
When wind blows
I know you’re comforting me
When a hurricane comes
I know you’re worried sick
When there’s a rainbow
You help me to tick
Every twist and turn
Of Nature speaks of you
Without you, my life
Like dark skies, is dull and blue
I miss you
21) There are some moments
When I experience deja vu
Especially when I am
Thinking only of you
I get transported
In the memories of the past
After which sadness takes over
Why those good times didn’t last
Since your death, I found
My reveries to be
The best place to hide
Where it’s just you and me
I miss you
22) Dad…
There are spots in the house
That scream of your memory
There are corners and nooks
That want you back badly
The neighborhood has lost
A bit of its character
The good vibes of the home too
Are gone forever
The patio and the backyard
Miss your barbecue
Everyone in this house
Is lonely without you
23) My life’s pillar
Its very foundation
Has been taken away from me
Leaving me in desperation
The framework of my life
Its very blueprint and outline
Has gone away forever
Making my life far from fine
All that I can do now
Is to learn to cope
And just survive
On memories and hope
I miss you dad
24) I know what Heaven looks like
It must be fantastic
For it has a new resident
Who is so terrific
It must be all happy up there
With everything pristine
The most beautiful place
That anyone has ever seen
All this because it has
My amazing father
Without whom the Heavens
Could be this way, never
25) It’s tough to contain the pain
Over the death of the one you adore
There are days when I miss you
And I just can’t bear it anymore
There are days when I need you
And then there are days when I just quit
Without you, I’ve realized
I can’t push through even a bit
Dad, I beg you
Please come back from Heaven
Without you my life will
Collapse and come undone
