Forget-me-not

I miss having to buy a card,

I miss having to think what to say,

I miss phoning you to let you know

You’re special on Fathers’ Day.

I missed the last two years of your life,

I missed your mind that was once so vast,

I missed the talks and ideas we’d have

As the father I knew was sinking fast.

But I couldn’t help, I could only watch,

As your mind was snatched, a little each day,

There was nothing left in the end, just a shell,

I miss having to think what to say.

Happy Fathers’ Day…wherever you are.
