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 Violett
