Poem 1: A Father’s Love
The world feels dimmer, the nights are dark
Where your voice was heard, now the silence is loud
What do I do when I want to see you?
Shall I ever hear you speaking my name again?
Here in my heart, your memories remain,
A guiding light through all my pains.
Poem 2: His Hands
His hands, once steady, now are still,
But memories linger, soft and filled.
With every step, I feel his grace,
His love, forever in this place.
Poem 3: Echoes of His Voice
His voice is now a whisper in the wind,
A comfort in times when I feel the pain,
Whatever I may do
Wherever I shall be
His soul will always
speak to me.
Poem 4: The Empty Chair
The chair is empty, but the love is not,
For in every corner, he left his thought.
Though he is gone, his legacy stays,
Guiding me through all my days.
Poem 5: A Prayer for My Father
In quiet moments, I still pray,
For strength and peace to guide my way.
For a father watching up above,
May my prayers bring you all my love.
