I love you Dad. I miss you. (poem)

 I love you dad. I miss you.

I hear you in the wind

Flowing in the river

See you falling in the snow

You're with me wherever I go.

I see you in my brother

I see you with my mother

In the eyes of my children

And standing behind my nieces.

I know you hug my sister

In those nights when she cries

And put your hand on our shoulders

In the moment we feel we can't try.

I love you dad. I miss you.

But you're here now with me

Though your body is ash

And in the wind you sigh.
