TRIBUTE TO MY DAD

On the 4th of December 2015
You departed 
For a journey of no return
Going beyond
Leaving behind 
All you love and worked for
None can fill the void you left behind
We miss you our lovely father 
Rest in power not in peace, dad.

You were a mantle of leadership
A man of integrity and more
Always guiding and protecting
All you love unapologetically 
Love you always give without hesitating 
Telling us it's the greatest force in the Universe 
 Death is inevitable and life is unpurchaseable.

You departed without a notice
After a brief illness 
While we were all waiting for your healing
You left when we needed you most
You were so crazy about your ambition 
Leaving a legacy behind your priority 
We still aching from the pains of your deceased 
This trauma is forever, our irreplaceable dad
You'll forever live in our hearts, your children.
