LEGACY OF LOVE: A FATHER'S ABSENCE

by: MA. ANGELA V. ORIEL

In the quiet shadows where memories dwell,

Whispers of laughter, stories to tell,

A gentle touch, a guiding hand,

In the weave of my heart, forever will stand.

You were the sun in my brightest day,

A compass of wisdom that showed me the way,

Each lesson you taught, each word you bestowed,

Like seeds in my spirit, they flourish and grow.

Though time may have taken your presence from here,

Your love lingers on, crystal clear,

In every soft breeze that rustles the leaves,

In the warmth of the twilight, my heart believes.

Your laughter now echoes in moments I share,

In the bonds that I nurture, in the love that I bear,

Through trials and triumphs, I've come to see,

Your strength and your kindness still live within me.

So, I carry your legacy, woven with grace,

In the stories I tell, in the dreams I embrace,

Though the ache of your absence may sting like a knife,

I cherish your love, the essence of life.

For as long as I breathe, as long as I roam,

In the depths of my soul, you've always a home,

In every sunset, your spirit will dance,

A father’s true love, in life’s timeless expanse.
