“Still Here, Dad”

“Still Here, Dad”
Every morning comes, but feels the same,
Your voice is gone, yet calls my name.
The house is full, yet feels so wide,
There’s an empty place right by my side.
I try to smile, I try to stay strong,
But nights remind me you’re really gone.
Still, in my heart, you always stay,
Guiding me in a silent way.

 You’re not here… yet never apart,
Because you still live inside my heart.
