I didn’t know your favorite food, your favorite song, your darkest day, your greatest fear –
Your biggest hope, your brightest moment, your inner thoughts, your longest dream –
I didn’t know your pain, your heartbreak, your regret, your failures –
Your strength, your courage, your faith, your resolve –
And now, I don’t know the right words to express in this moment, mixed emotions cloud my mind –
So I guess I can only offer the simple hope that this life treated you as well as it could, and that the next is truly perfection –
Rest in peace, dad.
