A Father's Love Never Dies

I can't be like I was with you

By Fatima AqeelPublished 3 years ago 1 min read

can no longer be the same,

Ever since you left, nothing's been same.

I can't laugh like I used to before,

The memories we shared, I can't ignore.

No festival is complete without you,

Your absence is felt, that much is true.

Mom stays silent, siblings don't fight,

It's not the same, it's just not right.

I still wonder if you're out working somewhere,

It's hard to believe that you're no longer here.

No one can love me like you do,

I still hope that you'll come through.

Your daughter misses you every day,

And wishes you were here to stay.

We'll smile again like we used to do,

But reality is, I can't be like I was with you
