Happy Father’s Day

Wish You Were Here

By Kelli Sheckler-AmsdenPublished 2 years ago Updated 2 years ago 1 min read

You’ve been on my mind a lot today, most days, if I’m honest

❤️

I know, I’ve been watching over you from Heaven, love

❤️

We spent the day out on the lake, I tried to keep my promise

❤️

I wouldn’t miss it, was there, just up above

❤️

It’s been hard without you here, somedays I feel pretty lost

❤️

Remember that my love for you is strong

❤️

It’s father’s day down here, that’s when I’m missing you the most

❤️

We’ll be together once again, before too long

❤️

Well, I hope I made you proud, I did it just like you used to. It was definitely different without you.

❤️

It was beautiful my child, you made your daddy pretty proud. Now, get back to your life and remember, live it well

❤️

I sure love and miss you pops, please tell mom I love and miss her too

❤️

She’s right here smiling, waiting, till we can see you again, Kel
