In Loving Memory of my Father

Ah... You seem to be far away from me, Enjoying in the Heavens with joy and glee. Yet I recall the continual soft glow upon your smiling face, And the aroma of your touch, And enchanted embrace. When I am exhausted from the impediments I've borne, When the path is ambiguous and I feel so forlorn, Then I feel like your adoring aegis is constantly near, As your guidance always has carved my aisle clear. When I glimpse no one who seems to care, Or when my agony seems too heavy to bear, I recall how you always stood by my side, And would wipe away the reasons why I cried. When I remember the things you used to say, When I miss you and know that you're so far away, Then I reckon the part of you, lives on through me, And one day I'll join you, Enjoying the Heavens with joy and glee.
