Remembering Dad

It has been a year since you left us
I can still see your face
I still hear your laughter
I hear your voice in the wind
I dream of you often

You still comfort me when I'm scared
You still make me feel safe
You are my strength when I feel weak
I feel your presence in my heart

It has been a year since I have cried for you
I find myself now weeping thinking of you
With tears flowing down my cheeks
I also have a faint smile remembering you

Daddy it has been a year
Since I said goodbye to you forever
But I see now that as long as I live
You will live on in my heart
As the love our family has always had...Will never die
