Poetry hour- a collection of poetry

Beautiful- but I miss you.

My days are mostly filled with a quiet joy,

A love of life so deep that it keeps me hopeful even when the sky is grey.

Yet I miss you deeply.

I am not the same person without you,

Your absence from this life leaves me speechless,

Sickness, a cruel element of the human condition,

One which took you away too soon, and left me heart-broken.

Yet the strength in my soul keeps me alive and healthy,

it keeps me working on my art and aspiring to dream higher. 

Here in the early hours of my thirties, 

I am trying the best I can.

You would have made a great dad;

 and it's so sad you never got the chance to be one. 

You were a light in the world.

A light and a beautiful soul-

And I will always love you.
