Tears have now subsided
I stand in silence alone
Photographs fill my mind
My soul without a home.
Cold stone in my vision
Angled, free of time
A vacuum surrounds me
With these thoughts of mine.
So many years since your death
And I have now grown old
Yet you were young when you passed
My father, ill and bold.
I hope you enjoyed my success
My failures you forgave
For I am just a man like you
Now stood beside your grave.
