Smile

As time moves forward

I’ve moved further than I thought I could

My smile has returned

I was so broken when I started this journey

I can’t believe how far I’ve come

How much taller I now stand

I know my grief will never go away

But i’ve found my place again

As time moves fore

I’ve grown more than I thought I could

You have been my inspiration for so much

I have mapped my emotions and laid them bare

I have celebrated your life

And tried to share with the world, just how special you really were

I wouldn’t have thought it possible to be standing where I am right now

As time moves forward

I’ve healed more than I ever thought I could

You aren’t just my Dad

You are so much more

I have a heart full of questions

Which I know will never have answers

But the sun will rise... and I will continue to smile
