I See You In Them

Verse 1:

Strong, protective love —

Your hugs brought comfort, safety,

Your laughter, pure joy.

Taken far too soon,

Brief moments of anger ripple,

But gratitude calms.

Chorus:

You’re in their smiles, in their eyes,

In the way they shine when they try.

I hear your voice when they call my name,

Love like yours, it still remains.

Verse 2:

I miss you, Dad. Still.

Every day, I long to have

One more hug, one more laugh,

One more talk with you.

Yet, you’re still with me,

Every day before me,

In your granddaughters —

Still walking beside me, us.

Chorus (repeat):

You’re in their smiles, in their eyes,

In the way they shine when they try.

I hear your voice when they call my name,

Love like yours, it still remains.

Outro:

So I’ll hold them close, and I’ll know it’s you,

In all the little things they do.

Though you’re gone, you never fade,

Your love’s the light that still remains.
