oblivious of the time
and around
I longed for your
hold so tight
your hold that keeps my steady
gaze in place
your hold that once made a
better me
incognizant of how I felt
wanting how much of you
I can take
I never imagined it would be
this dark without you
the darkness that seemed to
topple down my soul
the darkness I once ignored
for you are there
holding closely as I fear
It seems just a while
but no, it’s been a long while
a long while
since you walked away
unnoticed
it numbed my mind
froze my heart
I can’t take you out of
my life
I need to touch you again
I need to hold you close in
my arms
I miss you that’s what
I wanna say
I love you, I want you
to stay
It’s been ten years dad
ten years and I am mad
‘cos I can’t have you back
You will be 70 years old today dad, i hope your having a birthday blast in heaven. ❤❤❤

happy birthday Mich Papa, love and peace upon your soul, with a loving Father in Heaven waiting at heaven’s door for his beloved children, one day eternity will join our families together again, knitted with the longing you expressed so deeply and intensely here. Your words have a deep effect on me too Mich just like all your readers we honour this special day for your dad. I too felt time torn away form me and the darkness has never been this heavy. You have my love and blessings today and everyday dear friend.

A touching tribute to your late father – taken too soon from earth at age 60! I am sure he is having a blast in Heaven and having tons of friends, looking over you too. It is great when you have had such a strong daughter and father relationship. Blessings and chin up as he still loves up, from up above 🙂
