For my Dad

 For you Dad

They say it will heal with time and life goes on,

I guess it does and will; 

but I never will be whole again.

A part of me is lost... forever,

I look back and can't find you there, not understanding the reason why you had to be gone.

I know you can feel my tears and want me to be strong.

And I wipe.my tears and am glad you were there, glad of our memories together.

For your love has always been my lighthouse and you will steer me like always.

You did not go alone, you took a part of me with you. 

In gratitude , I hold  our memories tight ,

you may not be physically there but I won't mind anymore,

for the body is naught, we are one in spirit.
