Only the memories

 To my father... 

I have come to accept, the fact you are gone.
Yet your presence in my heart, stays warm and strong.
In the stillness of my mind, when I feel you near;
I close my eyes and wipe a tear.

I see your smile, I hear your voice,

And those little moments make my heart rejoice.
Though you're no longer with me in sight,
Your memory shines in me, like a beacon in the night.

 I know you're watching from above,

And sending me your endless love.
With me every moment, with me every day,
Deep in my heart, you'll always stay.
