My father, my stability!

My father, my clarity!

I knew you but I didn’t understand you

I loved you but I didn’t express it

I said goodbye to you but never truly told you

Papa, you were my strength, my truth, and my love

I miss you and feel you to my last breath!

From you I learned compassion, inner power, and tolerance.

I love you forever and am working hard to be the same for my children
