Happy Birthday Pa!

the empty spot you left in my heart
can only be filled with fond memories of you
but what happens when my mind goes?
will you finally and forever more be gone too?
or will you continue to visit me in my dreams
a constant reminder that you never really left

part of my light went out with you
but I will leave a light burning in my heart
so you can always find your way back to me
unseen, unheard but your love and warmth very much felt.

we terribly miss you Dad. happy birthday.
