Dear Dad

I look around this place, But you're not here. All I feel is your presence... Your spirit... a certain type Of "air". That's how I know that you Are still with me. Still watching over me and Making sure I'm alright. You give me strength on Those difficult days. You are my sunshine when The clouds are gray. You are my rainbow that Breaks through the rain. Each color in the arch Representing a promise, to Me, that you had made. Red is the symbol of a Father's Love. Orange to symbolize a Father's trust. Yellow is the color of constant Strength. Green would mean that you Would always keep me safe. Blue is symbolic because it was Your promise to allow me to feel. When you left this world... you Told me to grieve... then heal. Indigo is special because it Symbolizes wisdom. I will always remember each Important lesson. Finally... there's Violet... to remind Me of time. The time you had with your family, Before you had to say Goodbye. So, as you can see, I was listening After all. And I know you'll be here to pick Me up, If ever I should stumble and fall. It's still very difficult knowing that You're gone. But in my Heart is a special place Where your legacy will live on.
