You walked up when the night was still, And whispered words that gave a thrill. In dreams we slept, so unaware, Of all the love you wished to share. You thought of us as time went by, When we were young and reached for the sky. You spoke of dreams, of joy and light, And held us close through every fight. In the final moments, you smiled through pain, Saying, "I'll never leave you, I’ll stay again." Our hearts still ache, but we know it's true— The love you gave will carry us through. Even now, you're here in every prayer, In every moment, you're always there. Through the years, we'll carry you near, A father's love, forever dear.
