In the realm where memories gently reside,

Amidst the whispers of love, I confide,

A heartfelt lament, a yearning so deep,

For a cherished presence I can no longer keep.

Oh, dear Father, with your warm embrace,

Your guiding light, your comforting grace,

Now your absence looms, a void profound,

Leaving my spirit forever unbound.

The laughter we shared, the stories we told,

Those tender moments that never grow old,

They linger within, like a bittersweet song,

Reminding me of a love that was strong.

Your gentle hands that held mine so tight,

Your wisdom that guided me through the night,

Oh, how I long for your voice to be heard,

For your soothing words, like a songbird.

When life's storms raged and skies turned gray,

You were my shelter, my compass, my way,

Your unwavering strength, a beacon of hope,

Now I navigate life's uncertain slope.

The scent of your cologne, familiar and sweet,

Fills the air, as memories gracefully meet,

I close my eyes and imagine you near,

Whispering softly, wiping away every tear.

In dreams, we reunite, and time stands still,

As I feel your presence, a comforting thrill,

Though separated by the hands of fate,

Our bond transcends, beyond this earthly gate.

Your legacy lives on, forever engraved,

In the depths of my heart, where love is saved,

I honor your spirit, your life so well-lived,

With gratitude and love, my soul is revived.

Yet, the ache persists, like an eternal sting,

For you were my compass, my everything,

But I find solace in the memories we share,

In the love we had, and the moments we dare.

So, dear Father, I'll hold you close in thought,

Your spirit, in my heart, will never be forgot,

Though you've soared beyond this mortal shore,

Your love remains, forevermore.
