Your voice
is lost to me now,
Even in my
dreams.
You’ve
become a blurry memory,
Your details
faded by time.
Fragments
float through my mind;
I can’t pin
them down.
I can’t
bring you into focus.
But the
heart never forgets.
I cannot
piece together your voice,
But I
remember what you said.
I cannot
recall your gestures,
But I can
still feel your arms around me.
I can’t hear
your laughter,
But your joy
lingers.
Your vital
statistics,
The part of
you
That was
just passing through,
Are clear and
complete.
I love you,
Daddy.
“Three
things will last forever---faith, hope, and love---and the greatest of these is
love.”

Corinthians 13:13 (NLT)
