My Eyes Miss You

Though I feel your warmth near me Caressing my forehead I can't touch you Though I heed your words While making big decisions I can't hear you Though my heart sees you Speaks to you, when I am sad My eyes can't Though I call you 'appa' aloud When I am in danger, you heal me fast But I can't hear your response Though I know you are here Watching and blessing us My eyes miss you Last year, on the same full moon day, You barely left us But I know from then until now you are taking care and forever more you will bless us from heaven above June 24 2021

You brought tears in my eyes. I feel like that for all elders who have died in family. I agree with you. You said Appa. Are you south Indian like me. My mother tongue is Tamil
