Wish you were here

I look up at the stars, searching 4 ur face,

In every quiet moment, I still feel ur embrace.

U taught me how to stand, how 2 fight through the pain,

Now the world feels heavy, & I feel lost in the rain.

Oh, Dad, I miss u more than words can say,

With the weight of the world, I’m finding my way.

But ur love still guides me through the nights,

In my heart, you’ll always be my light.

I c ur strength in me, in the choices that I make,

I treat ur friends with kindness, though they’ve caused me so much heartache.

I don’t want everything; I’ll always honor what you’ve built.

I just wish u could show up, 4 a minute or 2. & look them in the eyes & say “shame on u” 4 treating my kids this way. & “shame on u” 4 allowing others 2 disrespect my kids. Especially when everyone knows what my dad would want.

But through it all, there’s Daryl, a true friend by our side,

He’s kept his word 2 all of us, Gave us all ur belongings. no questions asked. A good man in this world, just like you.

Oh, Dad, I miss u more than words can say,

With the weight of the world, I’m finding my way.

But ur love still guides me through the nights,

In my heart, you’ll always b my light.

I’ll carry ur name, & I’ll honor ur fight,

Forever ur kid, I’ll keep ur love in sight.
