You live in me

How I wish...

I could share

this with you.

How far 

I've come.

Every day,

still fighting 

for my dreams,

And radiating 

love.

How I miss...

Your heartfelt

embrace.

Always warm,

Always safe.

So caring,

No matter 

the place.

You taught me 

Patience 

and strength,

Softness 

and honesty.

You showed me,

the immensity 

of the sea.

You lead 

by example,

With staunch 

kindness.

Unveiling living

was meaningless,

If not for

sharing, 

laughing

and loving.

In your eyes 

There was hope,

happiness 

and joy.

They live 

in me,

Forever

in my heart.

I miss you,

But we're never 

really apart.
