Sighs

For fathers who know how it goes.

This one is for the sadness that I feel when you’re away,

This one is for the happiness I feel hearing your laughter,

This one is for the times when we go to the park to play,

This one is for the gift of song we blast into the rafters.

This one is for your eyes of blue that stare around in wonder,

This one is for the hugs you give when I am feeling down,

This one is for rainy days when we play below the thunder,

This one is for the many times I wish you were around.

This one is for your little hands that grab the things they shouldn’t,

This one is for the lakes and streams in which you love to swim,

This one is for the tears you cried when I told you you couldn’t,

This one is for adventures and acting on a whim.

This one is for the trials I’ve faced trying to get you back,

This one is for the fear I’ll be the one you hate someday,

This one is for the pessimism I have come to lack,

This one is to help bury the past and face come what may.

This one is to tell you that I miss you every time you’re gone,

This one is for the halo that I imagine hangs above you.

This one is for the times that it is hard to face the dawn.

This one is so that you will know how much it is I love you.
