On the outside
I retain my composer
But on the inside
I’m still chasing closure
Two years to the day
Since you passed on
However, a wonderful father
I fondly reflect upon
You always gave your best
The only way you knew how
I didn’t understand it then
But you know I do now
I feel your presence within me
Your love and courage everyday
Giving me strength to carry on
Especially today of all days
I’m doing okay dad
Its just that sometimes I need to cry
Because I never told you enough
I love you and why
