Hey Dad – I can feel you
I know you’re out there
Always here in my heart
Nearby in the air
Like a whisper in the breeze
Or rustle out of sight
The glint in a dew drop
Or the star shining bright
In the chorus of morning
In the day’s melody
Just nudging my conscious
That you’re not far away
For your spirit is in me
Your laughter, your love
Always reigning in harmony
On my soul, from above
And so this first birthday
I now have without you
Is imbued with your presence
Will be happy not blue
For you’re here – omnipresent
Not in a distant place
For love outlives all
And is a blessing and grace
