Twenty one years have passed
Since you went to Death.
Twenty one years without
The daddy I adored.
Twenty one years have turned
Your child into a mother.
Twenty one years have faded
Your flesh into shadowed memories.
Twenty one years I've known
This absence is forever.
Twenty one years, twenty one years
I've cried.

Thank you. I don't write much poetry, tend to stick to prose but some things are better expressed as a poem.
