A poem to My Dad

Four years without you, Dad, by my side

A painful track, but God's love abides

The Father to the fatherless, He came through

Helping me heal, though the wound remains true

I recall the nights and days of years gone by

The feeling that you'd traveled, but never said goodbye

When you spoke of joining your father above

I thought it a joke, a distant, impossible love

The news of your passing, a dream I couldn't shake

My head on the floor, my heart about to break

What a journey this has been, through tears and pain

Yet, your legacy lives on, a love that remains

Thank you for the spiritual path you showed me

For calling me a woman of prayer, a identity

I miss our midnight talks, the laughter and the tears

But even in death, your memory dispels my fears

Your baby girl is grown now, with achievements to share

I hope you're proud of me and know that I care

If only for a second, I wish I could see your face

But even in heaven, our bond remains, a love that time won't erase.
