I sit on the verdant turf,
In silent contemplation,
Of all the smiles we shared,
The unconditional love,
And support,
You once gave me.
My heart-torn soul,
Can not,
Will not,
Find the words,
That must be spoken,
A final,
Goodbye.
I remember all the time,
We shared talking,
About the future,
Of hopes and dreams,
All of that is gone now,
Lost to time.
I am lost without,
Your arms that gave me,
Comfort and acceptance,
Your words that gave me,
Reason and understanding,
Confused and alone i sit.
When I dream in the night,
I still hear your,
Voice,
I still feel your,
Presence,
I try to hold onto it.
But,
The morning always comes,
To steal those dreams,
The only words I can find,
The only words my heart will allow,
Come unbidden to my lips.
I love you dad....Goodbye
