Papa

A faint memory now, but still strong in my heart

Days, months, years

We've all missed him from the start


The blue kind eyes

The smile warm

A hug so tight in his fragile arms


A heart full of life, a love so deep

Taken from us too soon

He wasn't ours to keep


But he is still here, we see him everyday.

In uncles' eyes, mothers' nose

Aunt Shannae's smile that comes and goes


A dream of his face

The sound of his voice

It's often unfair that we had no choice


Never forgotten

We love him the same

A special place in our hearts

William, was his name
