I say a little prayer to give you some brighter days

In the midst of all of this, the feeling of pure pain

It hid right in the center of my heart

What times I now lost can never be gain

The feelings of holding you close

To feel the warmth of your fatherly love

To lie in the arms of a loving heart

Encompasses a feeling of what we behold

These past few weeks I have grown to love you more

Now I realized what it means to take for granted

Living my life without that fatherly presence

Holding back the tears to see you smile

To feel the feeling of leaving

I came to face the realities of life

In time the curtain will end a legend

My promise now I lay as a gift to the years you gave me

I have with the passion and kindness of your being

A reflection of what you have made me to be

You have nurtured a well-brought up individual

Your duties of a father have been done well above exceptional

Now I must carved the stones for the little ones

For a selfless mother to me and a wonderful wife to you

For the loving sisters I now have to lead in your way

As I lay now I make this vow to weather the forces outside

To bring glory and respect to have a son like me

I have always been blinded and misled to believe

That time will always be enough to do tomorrow

When in this days I seek to treasure in its paradox

The paradox that my time is enough

In these days my mind lives in the memories

The days we spent in each other’s company

The days you tuck me to bed

The days you gave what my young heart desired

The days you stood and made me a man

From life to love you have showed me the way

The greatest romance novels could never explain

With you I find the real meaning to love a woman

With you I find the real meaning to be compassionate

In that glow in yourself with all my friends you’ve showed

The wisdom of an open mind and heart

With you around the skies were always blue

Words cannot explain my feelings at this moment of time

When you said you never knew I love you that much

I want you to know you have been deep in my heart

I just was too blind and rejected what my inner spirit was telling me

Now I regret of not spending the times with you

I always felt secured and free when I am next to you

If heaven can grant me one final wish to fulfill

I would gladly ask the years for me to repay your love you have given

By spending the years to come just loving you
