To Let Go...

 

(Extracted from FB post Aug 26, 2016)

Remembering Dad on his 24th Death Anniversary through a poem I crafted some years ago...that goes:

With your passing,
I learned some GOOD STUFF...

To LET GO
Even if I will never forget

To HEAL
Even if the scar shall remain

To CRY ONCE
Then put my life BACK on TRACK
For your LIFE, just like ours, is
                                                                               But borrowed in TIME
                                                                                     And the ONLY MATTER to last
                                                                               Is the SWEET MEMORY left behind...

(PS: To us, children, who long for our lost dads, let us be consoled that "who we become after" is the best TRIBUTE to our fathers' legacy).
