I feel you

When the glistening sunlight showers its warmth

I feel you embracing me,

When I see a shooting star leaving its trail on the sky

I see you descending for me.

 

When the mighty stars’ light penetrates through the cloud

I feel you twinkling above,

When a fresh morning breeze teases me with its charm

I discern your good wishes for me.

 

When I pass a playground and hear a child’s laughter

Nostalgia of our time grips me,

When the magical droplets of rain shimmer and dance

I feel you smiling and blessing me!

 

 

Author's Note

It is said that death can only touch the body and not the soul.

So this piece is penned in the memories of my late father.
Miss you, Papa!

Nicely penned tribute. You need one minor change as penetrate needs to be penetrates since light is the noun. Otherwise, it's evident you put thought into this one. Cherish the memories you have of your time with him.

I keep him as much alive as possible, in everything I do.
Thank you for the review and pointing out the error.

"I discern your good wishes for me". I really like this line. And that's the tricky thing about death is that it affects the living much more than the one who is gone. Thanks for sharing!
