Father

I push forward through the tears

Hoping that this will wash away all my fears

I see the sheet cover his face

This is the last time it will be seen upon this place

Fire brings life and consumes death

From ashes to ashes

I thought that I could master the terrifying truth

I will see him no longer

To be without a father this is my fear

To see him no longer I thought until I looked into a mirror

To hear him no longer I thought until I laughed

To feel his presence no longer I thought until a challenge presented itself

He helped to make me into the man I am today

I miss you dad it is the only thing I can bring myself to say
