THE LAST GOODBYE.

In the twilight hours, I stand by your side,
A heavy heart, with tears that I can’t hide,
For in this moment, I wrestle with despair,
Unable to find the words, unable to share.

The frailty of your being, it pains my soul,
As time slips away, taking its toll,
Your weary eyes, once filled with vibrant light,
Now flicker dimly, like stars in the night.

Oh, dear father, how can I find the strength,
To bid farewell, to go to any length,
To say the words that must be said,
To hold your hand, to rest my head.

But the truth is, I am not ready to let go,
To release the grip, to watch you flow,
Into the unknown, where shadows reside,
Where memories of you will forever reside.

You taught me how to walk, to stand tall,
You caught me each time I started to fall,
You were my rock, my guiding light,
And now, I must face this endless night.

Yet, I find solace in the love we share,
In the memories, the moments, the infinite care,
I’ll hold them close, deep within my heart,
As we journey apart, forever apart.

For even as the curtain slowly draws near,
I know that your spirit will always be near,
In every whisper of the wind, every ray of sunshine,
In every beat of my heart, your love will shine.

So, though I cannot find the words to say,
Know that I’ll be with you, every step of the way,
In the echoes of our laughter, in the tears we’ve shed,
In the bond we have, even when you’re dead.

And as we face this inevitable goodbye,
I’ll cherish the love that will never die,
For though we part in this earthly realm,
Our connection remains, unbreakable, at the helm.

So, dear father, as you drift away,
Know that my love for you will always stay,
In the depths of my soul, in the depths of my sigh,

Forever and always, I’ll never say goodbye.
