I Will Never Forget Daddy Dearest
Daddy dearest, I miss your presence
Always lingering with your love’s trustworthy license
Delighting am I in your memories’ iridescence
Definitely can never be erased by obsolescence…
You surely left me with your great fatherly essence.
Deep down in my heart is your care’s prevalence
Earnestly surfacing midst nostalgic silence
Attending to me against pressures’ turbulence
Reassuring your faithfulness, devoid of indolence
Expressing good testimony’s prominence
Shining* through God’s light and blessings’ fluorescence
Thank you, Dad**; I praise the Lord indeed for your life’s influence.
*Matthew 5:16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.
**Dad was called to be with the Lord on January 2, 2019.
