Melanie wrote a poem for her dad

This is a poem that Melanie just wrote about her dad. It really made me cry but I though I'd share it with you because I think it's beautiful. She missing him so much. And yet I can't stop missing him either.

Always in my heart

In Loving Memory of Bruce Allan Collin

The thought of you crosses my mind everyday.
The hurt I feel just won’t go away.
I want the hurting to stop it’s too much pain.
Pain I know that will never go away.
I want to hear your laugh, I ask and I pray.
But sadly I know your laughter will fade.
♥
As I hold your pictures in my hands I yell and I scream.
“I just want my Dad to please come back to me!”
“I love you as big as the whole wide world, everything’s okay”
That’s all I want in the world, just to hear you say.
♥
I wish there was a way I could see you one last time,
tell you how much I missed you and how time has flied.
But it’s too late for sorrow and to regret on passed times.
I’m sure me loving you was more than just fine.
♥
I hope you’re watching over the family and me,
Especially Tyson your grandson to be.
I wanted you to meet him for the very first time,
But I guess you’ll have to see him from the other side.
I know he would love you and be proud of you dad.
I’ll make sure he knows about you,
And all the fun that we had.
♥
We had our rough spots through the years as I grew,
but no matter what happened I always loved you.
You where there for me when I needed to talk.
And I thank you for that it means a lot.
I miss the phone calls, the letter and visits.
But at least I have lots of memories to cherish.
♥
My love for you will never change dad.
It will stay the same and therefore I’m glad.
I’m glad because when I look up above,
I have an angel looking over me and I know I am loved.
