What Do I Miss?

What do I miss?
My wife, my three girls,

the baby daughter
I never got to hold.

My dogs jumping for joy
or misbehaving.

I miss the warm summer sun
and the cold winter winds.

I miss driving
like a bat out of hell.

It hurts not seeing
my girls grow up,

not holding my wife.
I miss not being alive.
