For Father's Day

There is nothing i can do,
to make him come back
There are no words I can say,
that can replace he words you long to hear

There are no answer's I can give,
that will satisfy your questions
There is not another soul I can introduce you to that will ever replace his
And, there is no love I can offer that will ever replace the love you shared

I can not promise your broken heart will ever be complete
I will not say it could have been worse
I will not deny it was a tragedy
I will not lie and tell you he will come back

He never really left

I do promise he hears you when you speak
I will say he loves you no matter the distance
I will not deny he is in a better place
And, I will not lie; he is waiting to greet you someday

He is every you step you take
He is in everything you do
He is the air you breathe
He is every beat of your heart

" He is like the wind. You can not see him...but you will always feel him"

Dad - I love you very much and will remember you with all my heart and soul. You will definitely not be forgotten and hold a special place in my heart as my father. It was very difficult during your last days of life and I wanted to be sure you were not alone. May your soul rest in peace. You will definitely be missed dearly and I will come to visit you. Griefing is painful and you are the first one in my immediate family that I have lost. May we find consolation through our hearts and our love for you.
