Remembering Dad

How do I remember that you are gone

Is it when the gutter is replaced you once put on?

Could be the door you said needed trim

Or the lock that might have needed a shim?

How do I remember now that you are gone

Could be the door newly put on?

Could be the drain you said had a leak

That is now plunged once a week?

How do I remember that you are gone

Maybe the new pipes put on

Or the wood under the sink

If you saw it now would u wink?

How do I remember that you are gone

Is it the new house paint put on?

Or the way it was done slow this year

The way u would do as if u were here?

How do I remember you are gone

Is it the new weed eater line now put on

Or cleaning out the gas line

Like you did to make it run fine?

How do I remember that you are gone

Is it the leaf blower that gets turned on?

Or using a rake and leaf bags an such

Cause you thought the electric bill is a little too much?

How do I remember that you are gone

Maybe the face I put on?

Thinking of you now that u are gone

knowing you are smiling not frowning on us as you are looking upon!
