Essence Of A Mortal Man

It doesn't seem right;

It doesn't seem real;

My chest is tight

At the way I feel.



The heavens expanded

But there's a hole in my heart

I feel stranded

And my mind is torn apart.



I cannot find the words

Or the resonate of my sound

We are parted by worlds

Not just by dimensions, but also galaxies on the ground.



There are so many tears

And not enough words that I can say

I cannot think through the fear

Knowing you could not stay.



You were loved my dearest dad

And still loved you are

You were the best we ever had;

And now your essence is a star.



I hate knowing what I know

And feel I don't know what to do

I wish for one more time to show

Just how much "I LOVE YOU"



You were my rock so sturdy

You were my lullaby song

You helped me to see

And corrected me gently when I was wrong.



You taught that love is always kind

And lie can have harmony and rhyme

To look for good in all I find

And growth comes from patient time.



And though you are away

You will forever live on

For if I keep your lessons day by day

I know you will never really be gone!!!
