A Remembrance of My Father

Broken tears and shattered lives How it feels deep inside The day I lost my father Gone is a piece of my soul Always thinking and dreaming of you Continuous love through and through What am I to do when you are not here Showing me what to do On that day I was not there The way you were for me those years Untold suffering and woe Shame and regret restrain me now Putting on a façade Abandonment from the reality Remembering the blessed times Deep inside my mind Admirable man that you were Generous, loyal, sentimental Could never ask for any more Always with me everywhere Always hold you dear Gratitude for what you did The way you taught and raised me here Makes me strong to hold through this To keep you close To Remember
