Direction

The lighthouse

A Father’s Day card never received

An apology never heard

It said “even in the stormiest weather you are a guiding light”

It said “thank you, for always being there”

Words I will never forget

You taught me so much

You taught us all so much

I want to make you proud

The lighthouse

A Father’s Day card never received

An apology never heard

Sometimes I don’t know which way to turn

I loose my sense of direction

I can feel so lost

You were our guiding light

But that doesn’t mean I’m surrounded by darkness

I will find my way

The lighthouse

A Father’s Day card never received

An apology never heard

Grief comes in waves

But the tide always returns

We will keep our heads above water

I will try

For you

But this is something I need to do for myself too
