A Father's Love

In the quiet of the night, I weep
For the father I loved so deep
His laughter, his wisdom, his guiding hand
Now gone from this earth, in a far-off land

Memories flood my mind, bittersweet
Of moments shared, of love complete
His absence a void, a painful ache
A heart that's shattered, a soul that breaks

I long to hear his voice once more
To feel his embrace, to know for sure
That he's watching over me from above
Guiding me with his eternal love

Grief washes over me like a wave
But in my heart, his love will forever engrave
His spirit lives on, in every breath I take
In every sunrise, in every star that wakes

So I'll cherish the memories we shared
And hold onto his love, knowing he cared
For though he may be gone from sight
His presence lingers, a guiding light.

I lost my dad, August 17, 2021 due to Covid.
