Only For Daddy
Like the sunrise in the morning
To see you, I am yearning
Without you, it is so sad
Come back and I’ll be glad
The house seems so empty
Thoughts of you, so plenty
Looking for your warm smile
Is simply missing for awhile
Today, my life comes to a halt
Full of darkness, nowhere to start
My plans, nothing seem to matter
I feel totally in a shatter
Feeling like this, so abound
Turns me completely all around
Pouring all out , it brings
Forever, it’s love that clings
Nothing could be the same
Can my loneliness be tamed
Nobody can take your place
Only in you, I find solace.
–poem for my dad, April 18, 1992
the 27th wedding anniversary
dad paralyzed, in and out of hospital
he died July 12, 1993, almost 15 years ago
