"My dady's body gave up on January 26th, 2006 after a long struggle with cancer. I was in Dubai at that time and didn't have the chance to say my final goodbyes. I wrote this poem on my 25th birthday, exactly a year after my father had passed away... It is dedicated to anyone who had lost someone dear and never had the chance to say the things they always wanted to say. Please remember that as long as they live in your memory, they will always be close... may it comfort you..."
Give 'em a hug, a great big kiss.
Because one day, he will be greatly missed.
My daddy has gone far away from this land,
I miss his precious touch and his loving hands.
I never knew last year was the last time I’ll say
"I love you Daddy! Happy Father's Day!"
To tell him what he means, it’s always a bliss
Remember you may not have another year to tell him this!
We all have just one father and now that his life is done,
The emptiness and loss I feel makes it hard to see the sun.
He was a great man, a gift from up above
A role model by all means, a person full of love.
Left behind, the family tears, all the memories of the years
Of joy and love, a life well spent… And now to God a father's sent
I am really sorry for what you had to go through
The ongoing pain that sickness had to put on you
I used to call you, your happy voice I will never forget
Not being there for you will always be my regret
No matter what my wrongs, you offered only love
Until the day you left for your new home up above.
I know you still are with me, your love is within my heart
Though life is no longer present, our souls will never part.
This is given to you in honor of all that we did share
I just wanted you to know daddy, how much I really did care.
