Today’s challenge by Ronovan is to include the words ‘inspire’ and ‘loss’.
This immediately made me think of my dad.
This is my attempt.
Dad, I mourn your loss
You will always inspire me
to be just like you.

This is a beautiful poem about your dad. Short and sweet, full of emotion and love as well. Brilliant. He’s probably looking down at you, very proud of you.

This is a very sweet and warm tribute! Like many others, I can relate to it esp. as I lost my father when I was 21 and even with two and a half decades gone he continues to be my inspiration.

Hello, and thanks for stopping by. I am Judy, in my (very) early fifties and decided that life definitely gets more interesting as it goes on! I am a wife and a mum and have just finished University as a Registered Nurse, after having worked as an Associate Practitioner in the NHS. I am also a poet and the author of my debut book, 'Rhymes of the Times.' I love to laugh, and I love rhyming words too, so I joined the two together, and my book was born. I am currently working on another book in the series also. I am a prolific blogger and enjoy writing funny stories, anecdotes, and anything really that takes my fancy.
