Its dad birthday today. I’ve actually lost count on how many years old he should be.
Let me have a count……… 49. He is 49 now and I don’t even know that. I always thought that he is 42, because when he left, he is 42. This is the last present I get for my dad.
I really like this a lot. I told him that the bald grandpa represents him because he is bold. So when he gets old, he sure looks like that grandpa, and the lady beside is my mom. This is how they look like when they get old. But things always never turn out the way I wanted. I can never see him turn old and he can never see me grow.
Dad
I saw a poem I wrote for you long ago but I totally forgot about it. So here it is, a simple poem for you as a birthday present.
———————————————-
Daddy you left so soon
Before I could say goodbye
I found myself wondering if you knew
I had these thoughts of you in my mind.
Daddy do you remember when
I was your tiny little girl
I will pretend to fall asleep on the sofa
So that you will carry me to my bed.
Daddy do you remember when
We went shopping together
You will always ask me
Do I want to buy any toy?
Daddy do you remember when
Every time I cross the road
You will always give me your last finger
And call me to hold tightly so that I can cross the road safely.
Daddy, do you remember when
I fall sick
I refused to eat medicine
And you will always stand by a sweet for me.
Daddy do you remember when
I was bully by friends in school
I will call you up
And no matter how busy you are, you will come straight to me.
Daddy do you remember when
You show me how you care for me in so many ways
Sometimes without saying a word
But I know you always do.
Daddy do you remember leaving me
That very terrible night
I’m sitting beside you, and not knowing
You would be gone forever without saying goodbye.
Daddy I remember these things
You should see your little girl now
Growing up each day
Missing you each day.
Daddy I hope you know
My life is so empty without you
But one thing.. you should know
As I did, as I grew..
Daddy’s love is something I can never forget
And when I look at the sky
I know you are there
Watching over me.
