TOO LATE

So many Father's Days
have come and gone.
Yet another one
just passed me by.

Words unspoken
still sear my heart...
The "Thankyou, Dad"
left so unsaid...
The "Sorry" lost
and rare expressed.

Too late one day,
I lay my head
against his cold,
stiff,suited breast.

"I loved you, Dad !"
I wept, I cried, but
he heard me not,
for he had died.
