Seeing you lying there
The stillness of time washing away my memories
Those childhood days of missing you
The hours you worked to keep the family safe
The days we wished our little hearts away
The days when you had nothing else to say
As the weariness of being there bore down on you
As the smiles gave way to pain
And nothing ever made up for the time we lost
Missing you
So father when you listen to me now
Making promises of my own
I vow to remember you as someone fine
Who never knew when he should draw a line
Yet always had the wisdom that we sought
We thank you for the memories you left behind
And hope your level of kindness we can find
Seeing you Lying there
The stillness of time haunting the moment
Breaking the heart
An excellent tribute to a beloved father. Nicely crafted poem.

I would like to translate this poem
As Father's Day nears, celebrating the love and the legacy....Your poem rekindled the respect and relished memories I have of my own father. Once parted from his hand, my life seeks to honor him, everyday...in some small fashion. A wonderful write you have penned. PEACE
