A dedication to the man who took me in as his own, you are greatly missed
**********************************

Time slips away like an endless curtain of wind,
locking my thoughts into heartfelt tears,
which drip from my cheek,
only to go to gravity on the floor
and wash my bare feet with liquid wet sorrows,
I think so of you, with love and happiness,
but yet these years have passed without you,
do you know, you are in my eternal heart,
a want, I yearn so desperately to hold,
I cry alone at night, thinking of you,
the courage you gave through those years,
why had death's hue, taken you from me,
another tear falls, and your picture shares your smile,
you said we'd dance when I get there,
I hope so desperately, your promise is true ,
but you were always true ,
you were a great part of my life, I have lost,
as I watch gravity take these tears,
which fall again for you,
you were love, and I do miss you so,
I must now go on, others need me,
I know thats what you'd say,
but I will always have you,
because you were to me, my father!
