February's Farewell

Echoes in my mind, years of fight behind and tears ahead

A call that shattered time, whispers of words I wish I never heard

February's cold breath, two thousand sixteen in the air

Welding sparks flying, but my heart was trapped in despair

My worlds collided, one was leaving, one was holding on tight

In the shadow of goodbye, I faced the longest night

Dropped my hood, the world faded out, words that still cut deep

Love you, dad, in the silence, promises I couldn't keep

Gone too soon, in a fight that wore him thin

A soldier in the night, still fighting from within

His spirit whispers, through the steel and the flame

Daddy's legacy, forever in my name

Harlan’s words, a gentle push, time to say goodbye

In that fleeting moment, I could feel him saying lie

Hold on tight, don't let go, even when the love feels far

His light still guides me, like a distant shining star

Dropped my hood, the world faded out, words that still cut deep

Love you, dad, in the silence, promises I couldn't keep

Gone too soon, in a fight that wore him thin

A soldier in the night, still fighting from within

His spirit whispers, through the steel and the flame

Daddy's legacy, forever in my name

Though the battle's over, his shadow lives on in me

In every spark, in every weld, his strength is all I see

Time may pass, but love remains, etched deep within my soul

A lesson learned in loss, making broken pieces whole

February's echo, a story of love and loss

Forever in my heart, no matter what it costs

I'll carry your fight, your name, your flame

Daddy, you're forever young in my forever name
