The road was long
The journey into the night tough
So many we have lost along the way
Yet so many we have in turn gained
Though we split at the last junction behind
You got taken away when I needed you so bad
You were my standing shoulder
A rock I could rest upon
A water I drank
But like the god who flew too close to the sun
You left – gone too soon, so sudden
You will be missed
I will carry on still
With your grace, your love
Someday we will meet again
In time I will let go of this pain
Ever to walk tall in your shade
Until then, rest father. Rest.
