Tears for the losses,
Tears for the joys,
Tears for all life's
bittersweet foys.
Yea, though I've lost
your earthly presence,
I'll continue to learn
from your past existence.
Good things I'll remember
with a smile on my face,
capturing each one
into a forever embrace.
Tears I shall always
have now for you,
for you are my Dad,
and I miss you true.
Tears for the losses,
Tears for the joys,
Tears for all life's
bittersweet foys.
