Thirteen Years
At thirteen years, the world was new?
But then it changed, I lost my father too
A life so full, now empty and still?
A void that time could never fill
The pain it brought, I couldn't bear?
My father gone, it wasn't fair?A part of me forever lost
A cost so high, no words could exhaust
My memories of him are all I hold?His love and wisdom, now untold?
A guiding light, now lost in time?
Leaves me with sadness, no reason or rhyme
But in my heart, he'll always stay?
Forever with me, day by day?
His love will guide me through the years
?And dry my eyes, and calm my fears
Though he's gone, his love remains?
A legacy that still sustains?And though my heart still aches with pain
?I know I'll see him once again.
