WHERE

In the middle of the stressful day, I hear you saying it’s ok,

All I want is you here, to say I’ll always be there.

Gone too soon, it cuts way to deep,

I’m grown up now, I need you to get me on my feet.

I remember the days, you’d teach me the ropes,

With every little struggle, you lit up my hopes.

Now I’m here holding my child in my arms,

But I feel the void, can’t call you for charms.

Oh, the lessons you’d give, they linger in my mind,

The wisdom you shared, so gentle, so kind.

But now I stand lost, with questions in my heart,

Without your guidance, I’m falling apart.

It’s not fair to lose you, when the world’s just begun,

When I’m learning to be me, and now I have to do it alone.

Oh, Dad, where are you? I need you today,

Your love was my sail, now I’m just drifting.

The stories you told, they painted my skies,

I wish I could just see the twinkle in your eyes.

You’d know what to say when times got so rough,

But without you beside me, I’m feeling so tough.

Oh, I chase down your words, like shadows they run,

In the whispers of night, I seek your wisdom.

Yet each time I reach, I can’t seem to find,

The comfort you gave me, it’s left me behind.

It’s not fair to lose you, when the world’s just begun,

When I’m learning to be me, and now I have to do it alone.

Oh, Dad, where are you? I need you today,

Your love was my sail, now I’m just drifting.

And I promise to live, all the dreams you once had,

I’ll call on your spirit, I’ll make you so proud.

In every laugh, every tear, in spirits we’ll talk,

As I walk through this life, you’ll guide every step I’ve sought.

It’s not fair to lose you, when the world’s just begun,

When I’m learning to be me, and now I have to do it alone.

Oh, Dad, where are you? I need you today,

Your love was my sail, now I’m just drifting.

So I hold my child close, share stories of you,

With every step forward, I’ll cherish what’s true.

Though the years may go by, and the pain lingers on,

In my heart, you are here, never truly gone.
