Today, is a difficult day. It's been 7 years to the day now, since my Addi passed. So I wrote her a poem.
To express what she was and still is to me. I just hate spending this day alone. R.I.P. Addi. 10/10/2016. I miss you and love you so fiercely.
Seven Years , Of A Broken Father.
Seven years ago today, I held your hand so small,
A father's heart that broke that day, the hardest fall of all.
My Addi, oh my dearest girl, your laughter pure and bright,
Seven years without you here, yet you're in every light.
Your laughter in the morning sun, your whispers in the breeze,
Your smile in the moon's gentle glow, your love in rustling leaves.
In every blossom that does bloom, in every bird that flies,
In every rainbow after rain, I see your sparkling eyes.
A daughter's love, a precious gift, a bond that never severs,
From first steps to that final sleep, a love that lasts forever.
In the stillness of the night, in the breaking of the dawn,
I feel your presence near me, your spirit carries on.
I taught you how to tie your shoes, to brave the stinging bee,
But you, my Addi, taught me more, about love and eternity.
You showed a strength beyond your years, a courage truly rare,
And though you're gone, your spirit strong, is with me everywhere.
Seven years of silent tears, seven years of missing you,
Yet in the quiet moments, I hear your voice so true.
In the echo of a song, in the rustle of the trees,
In the murmur of the river, in the hum of honeybees.
My Addi, my sweet darling girl, you're in every sunrise's hue,
In every star that lights the night, I see a glimpse of you.
In the heart of a father, your memory brightly gleams,
And in the hush of nighttime, you visit in my dreams.
Seven years have swiftly flown, since you were called away,
Yet your love, my dearest Addi, is felt each passing day.
You're never truly gone, for in my heart you stay,
A father's love for his daughter, will never fade away.
