I still remember the most fragrant flower
That assaulted my senses with wonder
The song that made me cry a river
Is vividly imprinted
In my heart's deepest corner.
How can I not remember you, Father
You brought me into this world
You live on through me
Yesterday, today
Until eternity.
I fondly remember
My strict elementary teacher
Her rules must be followed to the letter
So engaging yet loving
She treated me like a daughter.
How can I not remember you, Father
You are the namesake
Of my only brother
Every time I see myself in the mirror
I can see the shape of your face
And your eyes that werelike marbles.
I don't care who you were
All I remember is you are my father
I don't care how other people
Remember you
All I care
Is how I remember you.
I remember you
With love today
I spoke to God the other day
To bless your soul every single day
With each passing year
Memories of you linger.

Tweak: You lives on through me. Otherwise, nice line.. stanza 4: nice ppp alliteration! You are very lucky if these are your true feelings, well-expressed, which you hold for your father. To MyPoemList. bri :)
when a father looks into his daughters eyes, his love and protection is completely blind - he sees in her all the beauties she has to give and in his heart she will forever live..
A very touching piece dedicated to you beloved father......eternal.
