Everywhere you go,
will be filled
with Light.

Every place inhabited by
You,
will hold your name - remembered kindly.

A sweep of the hand
will shake a seed loose
for the wind
to pick up
and blow.

What testimony is there left
to leave this earth and this shore

but by the seed of your spirit
being here

will fill it

full.


Dad I know you're out there, looking over me each and everyday. Watching me make my mistakes and learn from them. I pray to God that some day I can be like you, wise, respected, merciful yet powerful, looked up to and yet be a good friend.

I wish the years could have brought us closer but I feel so far even though I know you're here in my heart. Oh how I long to feel your hand on my shoulder and say "Son you're a good lad, you make me proud", but that day will never come and I will never know.

Love you always, your son.
