A Father's Love

From the day I was born you were my best friend
You loved me unconditionally until the end.
I remember all the times we shared together
I used to think they would last forever.
You voice and your touch
I miss so much.
Everyday without is hard and sad
Because I want back what we had.
The little walks
And the long life talks.
The holidays with those we love
But now you watch us all from above.
I am always looking for signs that you are near
And am hoping that you are there.
Rainbows, daffodils, and butterflies
While I wipe the tears from my eyes.
You watched your babies grow and grow
Your love for us we take everywhere we go.
We now share that love with children of our own
And we'll continue your legacy even when they're grown.
Through our lives you never gave up on us even on our worst day
And that is why your love will forever be in our hearts to stay.
