Dad
I am not going to say goodbye
You are still with me, you didn’t die.
As long as the stars shine up above
My heart will always feel your love.
Proudly independent, and yet always polite
Just being with you made everything bright
So kind and so generous, and so loved by all
Make memories and laughter so easy to recall
You were clever, you were witty
with a unique strength of mind,
Caring and empathetic
Never knowingly unkind
Traits like these I'm proud to share
Along with a yearning, for this world to be fair
I’m happy to believe I inherited your brains
Your blood will always flow through my veins
As long as your thoughts remain in my head
The spirit of you will never be dead
My heart will always feel your love
As long as the stars shine up above
You are still with me, you didn’t die
I am not going to say goodbye

I am I and you are you, whatever we were to each other that we still are.
Speak to me in the easy way which you always used.
Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight?
Life means all that it ever meant, it is the same as it ever was.
Extract from a poem by Henry Scott Holland
