Missing You

No words I write can ever say
How much I miss you every day.
As time goes by, the loneliness grows;
How I miss you, nobody knows!

I think of you in silence,
I often speak your name,
But all I have are memories
And photos in a frame.

No one knows my sorrow,
No one sees me weep,
But the love I have for you
Is in my heart to keep.

I've never stopped loving you
I'm sure I never will;
Deep inside my heart,
You are with me still.
Heartaches in this world are many
But mine is worse than any.

My heart still aches as I whisper low,
"I need you and I miss you so."
The things we feel so deeply
Are often the hardest to say,

But I just can't keep quiet any more,
So I'll tell you anyway.
There is a place in my heart
That no one else can fill;

I love you so, Dad,
And I always will.
