My Dad
I remember your smile as you look down on me,
I remember the sights you told me I'd see,
I remember your kiss, the affection so real,
I remember the love that I used to feel,
Your presence made me safe, so happy inside,
A respect for you that cannot be denied.
We were always so close; I had nothing to fear,
There was a time I thought you'd always be here,
I could face the future, with you at my side,
I could openly live with nothing to hide,
So long ago, it seems like yesterday,
With you in my dreams, my memories stay.
The day that you left, tears fell from my eyes,
I didn't have a change to tell you goodbye,
Yet still I feel you, I know that you see
The life I am living, with you guiding me,
You gave me strength, built up from my heart,
Although you are gone, we are not apart.
I remember your smile as you look down on me,
I remember the sights you told me I'd see,
Your guidance is part of my destiny
I thank you for your love
It created me.
