MISSING YOU

I know you're missing Dad
Everytime you open your mouth, it's Dad this and Dad that
You visit all the places you both went walking in
You go to the same eateries you both went to
And order the same food but Dad is not there to share the portion with
You say he's no longer there to rub your back when it hurts
You say he's not there to sit awhile with you before you turn the lights out

You know, you don't have to go lookin for him
He loved you enough while he was with you
To last you for the rest of your life

For he opened a Bank Account and deposited his love in there for you
So that now whenever, you need him
You just go make withdrawals of whatever amount 
You happen to be needing for that day

Everytime there is a breeze, it's Dad playing with your hair
I felt it the other day too
It's gonna take a while for sure, Mom
But Dad really would like you to carry on
While he still holds your hand and your heart.

And surely, it counts that the rest of us here love you too.
