A poem for my father up above

I wish I could say I remember you, but then I would be telling lies
I can only remember the day when you took us by surprise

It wasn’t a good surprise for you were in pain
The day you lay in the hospital, and mom went insane

I was a bit confused of the situation going on
But my mom made me understand when she sang for us your song

It was not long after the funeral when she taught us the lyrics
From then we learned that you gone couldn’t be fixed

At times I feel alone, I pray you’re there with me
As I sing to the song, letting my emptiness set free

Daddy in heaven, Daddy in my heart
Daddy I love you, oh daddy I do
In my heart I’ll keep you, locked up forever
Daddy I love you, oh daddy I do

Then in that split second, I feel your presence in the room
I wipe away the tears knowing that we’ll meet soon ((Cassie Dlg. Fejeran))
