Father

it's been over 10 years. I still love you

No matter how long it's been,

It still feels like a dream.

Pain exists and grows even stronger,

I don't know if I can take it any longer.

I still look at the stars every night,

Repeating your last words by heart-

'They might seem so far away,

But you,my son, will reach them one day.'

And I sure do try my best,

I don't leave my mind to rest.

Now and then I let a tear flow,

While watching the stars glow.

I don't remember your voice or face,

Only memory is this vast Space,

A summer breeze and cigarette smoke,

And two of us below the old oak.

Oh, how much I miss you,

If you only knew.

Stars, you and I,

Ten years have passed and I can't say bye.

Thanks. It was really hard to write this, but I felt like I had to let it out. My father was a great man and I think the world needs to know about him.
