You Are Now Eighty
To my dad
You are now eighty
Years and years on your adored face
Beauty still there your wrinkles trying to shade
I am in your company relishing my blessings
Your hearty wise words fill up my senses
You are now eighty
Eyes suffused with bliss and gratification
A heart praying to God in conviction
I am in your company ravished with glee
Your warm loving voice holy words reciting
You are now eighty
Serenity and peace in your soul dwelling
Delight inward sparkling
As parts of you fluttering around
I am thrilled hearing from you a sound
You would have been eighty
Years and years of gloom
As light ceased to be in my room
The pain still inside
Tears piercing my eyes
Memories tearing me apart
Yearning burning my heart
Over your loss daddy I couldn’t heal
Poems for you I write
To myself cheer
Merciful God
My lament please forgive
In my world dad no longer is
In your heaven dad longed to live
In my words all the love, all the longing
To my dad I will always give.
