??“ Poetry For Fathers Day Father's Day Dianna Doles
Petry I woke up with you on my mind
this morning, Remembering your just shaved
scent. How good it felt when you
hugged me, How fast those days of our
lives were spent. It's Father's Day and you're
not here, So I can't offer you a gift
or a smile. I can't talk to you just to
hear your voice, Or sit and visit with you for
a while. I can only remember the times
we shared, Things you taught me that get
me through. I can still be my "daddy's
little girl", When I close my eyes and
think of you. I wonder if I showed you
enough love, Or showed you how strong I am
before you died. I'm doing fine, Dad, taking
care of myself, Teaching my children about
respect and pride. It's Father's Day and you're
not here, Except in the corners of my
heart and mind. There you will live as long
as I breathe, Living and laughing, leaving
the world behind. With love and
respect, Dianna Doles

Father Dianna Doles
Petry We
sat there in the room together, Alike and yet so far
apart. I
always had a difficult time, Sharing the feelings deep in my
heart. We
had so many things in common, But words were hard to
find. I
guess I thought that loved ones, Should be able to read my
mind. A
good life he had given to me, Many times he dried my
tears. Had I really given him my
best? Had I proven my love thru the
years? Not having him to talk to
now, Still eats at me like a
disease. I
know that we had our ups and downs, But it was him that I struggled
to please. I
touched his shoulder gently that day, He
looked at me, then looked away. I
wish I had known it was my last chance, To
find the words I needed to say. Now I think about the
yesterdays, When I was the sparkle in his
eyes, There was no need for spoken
words, It's something I finally came
to realize. He
showed his love by taking care of me, Trying to shield me from any
pain. So
when the days are long and tiring now, I
return to my childhood where he's smiling again. Dianna Doles

Tributes Written by Nicole M.
Stevenson
My father a man of strength and
Statue
Full of laughter and jokes
Firm and his word
You knew when not to joke
He would just give you one look
That is all it took
To know whether or not he was
serious
The tone of his voice would explain it
all
When he smiled at you it would make
your day
Spending time with the kids was all that
mattered
We may not of had the latest fad I
really didn't care
When his nephews and nieces called on him he
would come
My father a man of strength and
Statue
Full of laughter and
jokes
Firm and his
word
Now before my eyes his winter has
come
A sickness has entered his body
Turned him into someone I don't
know
It hurts me so bad and sometimes anger sets
in
On the coldest day I can feel intense
heat
But for a brief moment when he smiles in
calls me by my nickname I remember
My father a man of strength and
Statue
Full of laughter and jokes
Firm and his word
Tears come to my eyes and truth sets
in
By the end of the day, he has done
something that makes no sense
I have to remember that a sickness has
entered his body
Turned him into someone I don't
know
It hurts me so bad and sometimes anger set
in
On the coldest day I can feel intense
heat
But for a brief moment when he smiles in
calls me by my nickname I remember
Dedicated to the fathers that have
Alzheimer, Cancer or any disease that affects their
body& minds!
