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
