Missing my Dad

Missing my dad 


In the quiet moments, 
memories wake,
Of a love so strong, 
it couldn’t break,
A father’s wisdom, 
his steady hand,
Now echoes softly 
through this land.

Many words left unsaid, 
as you were gone,
Your presence lingers, 
your spirit strong,
In every star, 
in every breeze,
I feel your true love, 
it never leaves.

I miss your voice, 
your laughter’s sound,
The way you’d turn 
the world around,
Your guiding words, 
your gentle care,
Whatsoever it be, 
you were always there.

In my dreams, I walk 
with you once more,
Through well lit fields
on timeless shores,
We talk of life, 
of joys and pain,
And I find peace 
in your embrace again.

They say time can heal, 
yet it can’t erase,
The longing for 
your warm embrace,
Yet in my heart, 
you’ll always stay,
A beacon of light,
my guiding ray.

I see you in 
the morning bright,
In the stars 
twinkling through the night,
In every step, 
in every sigh,
A part of you 
is always nigh.

Hence here’s to you, 
my dearest dad,
For all the love 
and good times we had,
As you’ve moved on, 
in realms above,
You left us with 
your endless love.

In every tear, 
in every smile,
You are with me 
through every mile,
One day will meet 
in heaven’s view,
Holding my love 
in abundance for you.
