Father
You are like a picture before me.Forever young, happy,complete
Unchanged for all of time.
But you are not here.
I hold out my arms for a hug,
You can no longer give.
You are not here.
I wait for you,
To walk through the door.
To tell you I love you.
You won't be comeing.
You are not here.
I wait for your laughter.
At the joke you told,
A hundred times.
But you won't.
Your not here.
But I close my eyes and
Feel the warmth of your arms around me.
I can hear the sound of your laughter.
I can hear your I love you.
Because behind my closed lids,
Are a lifetime of memories.
You are here.
You are here.
In my heart,
Forever with me.
My father.
