A Father's Love

As I sit by the window, watching days go by,

Time slips through my fingers, like clouds in the sky.

I remember your laughter, those soft little feet,

Every moment we cherished, made my life complete.

But now as the shadows stretch long on the floor,

I feel the weight of the years, and I can’t run anymore.

Oh, my darling girl, you’re the light of my life,

Through the laughter and the tears, in the joy and the strife.

When the world feels heavy, and my spirit is low,

I’ll hold you in my heart, wherever I go.

You’ve grown into beauty, so strong and so wise,

With every step forward, I see stars in your eyes.

I’ve watched you become who you’re meant to be,

Yet a part of me lingers, the man I used to see.

The years have been kind, but they’ve aged my soul,

And as I grow weaker, there’s a void I can’t control.

Oh, my darling girl, you’re the light of my life,

Through the laughter and the tears, in the joy and the strife.

When the world feels heavy, and my spirit is low,

I’ll hold you in my heart, wherever I go.

Though my strength may falter, and my hands may shake,

In every word I whisper, it’s love that I make.

All the dreams I have for you are like stars in the night,

Each one a promise, to guide you with light.

So take every lesson, every hug, every sigh,

Know that you are my legacy, as the years drift by.

So hold onto the memories, hold onto my song,

Through the days and the nights, you’ll find you are strong.

And when you feel lost, in the journey of life,

Remember my love, through the joy and the strife.

For love is eternal, woven deep in the heart,

Even when the end comes, we’ll never be apart.

Oh, my darling girl, you’re the light of my life,

Through the laughter and the tears, in the joy and the strife.

When the world feels heavy, and my spirit is low,

I’ll hold you in my heart, wherever I go.

So here is my song, a gift for all time,

A melody of love, in this heart of mine.

As I age like fine wine, my love will remain,

Forever in your heartbeat, through the pleasure and pain.
