The echoes of your laughter fade
Into the vast silence of the night
A void that words cannot invade
A father’s love, now out of sight
In dreams, your face appears so clear
A tender smile that warms the soul
Yet waking life feels cold and drear
Without your presence to make me whole
Memories of your guiding hand
Whisper through the winds of time
Like footprints in the shifting sand
Your legacy, a silent chime
Though death has taken you away
Your spirit lingers in each breath
In every dawn and dusk’s display
I find your love, defying death
