Dear Dad, I can't believe it's been two years;
It feels like it was only yesterday.
I wish you were still here,
But the sky is the place you stay.

Dear Dad, it would make me ever so glad
If I could see you just once more.
To tell you how much I love you
And how you left me ever so sore.

Dear Dad, I remember the times we had together,
All the good times we had at the park;
The games we played, the laughs we shared,
And you taught me not to be afraid of the dark.

Dear Dad, I remember your infectious smile,
The days, we sat and watched the sky.
The times things didn't go my way,
You'd wipe the tears out of my eye.

Dear Dad, you always made me feel so special.
Your heart was always open wide,
And I conquered my fear of heights
With my dad, by my side.

Dear Dad, whenever I became stuck,
You always helped me find my way.
My Dad, My Dad, My precious Dad,
To me, you are the hope of every day.

Dear Dad, I still miss you every day.
It feels so empty without you
Although your spirit still lives on,
Without your presence, I feel so blue.

Dear Dad, I want you to know,
You are my Dad and also my hero.
Even though you are not here,
Your memories will always glow.

I miss you, Dear Dad.

Cold days and hard long nights.
Trees shimmed with tiny lights,
Their branches pointing ever high,
Reaching for the midnight sky.
Christmas is here!

Delicate snowflake dancing down,
Piling high across the town.
Children running 'round and 'round
While parents watch in the background.
Christmas is here!

Warming cold hands by the fire,
Listening to singing by the choir.
Stockings hanging in a row,
Wishing not to go so low.
Christmas is here!

As children climb into bed,
Santa arrives with his sled.
Mince pies stuffed in his mouth,
As he shouts:
"HO, HO, HO, Christmas is here!"
