*Was led to share this poem I wrote for my dad who passed in 2009.. maybe it will help someone out there
DADOO-YOU VISIT ME OFTEN
When I'm out in my dreams, you visit me often.
I saw you grin real big & glow a golden hue.
Sometimes it's just a glance,sometimes it's accompanied with a dance.
Remember that time I was lost in that nightmare of despair,
Your face popped in & teleported me outta there.
When I'm grounding in nature, you visit me often.
I saw all those rainbows you painted in the sky,
to remind me to live & this is not goodbye.
Remember that spring I was talking to you,
my all the butterflies you sent me right on cue.
When I blast all my music, you visit me often.
I talk & then you talk in music & rhythm.
You remind me to sing & become "one" & start living.
Then when it's too serious & the next song is near,
oh I can't believe it, they're playing "There's a tear in my beer "
When I cry, you visit me often.
You remind me that "I" will NEVER be FORGOTTEN.
