Ode to my father

Feeling joyful, missing my dad 

Feeling sorrowful, missing my dad 

Feeling proud, missing my dad 

Feeling anxious, missing my dad 

Feeling inspired, missing my dad 

 

I realize you keep appearing as my dad 

His smile, his laughter, what I endlessly seek 

Time flies, yet memories linger 

Like a melody, time replays the same beats 

 

In every good way, you are missed 

In every second, every millisecond, you are missed 

This world feels empty without your presence 

 

This tiny heart of your’s wants to 

Cry out loud, but oh dear, how can I 

Make you cry, my Lord? 

I hope you are doing fine in heaven 

 

It’s so unfair that you 

See us like a god, yeah. We have to deliver 

Like a post service, sending without reply 

Seen by those desperate to know how they are 

 

This universe is so unfair; if we 

Could journey both ways, it would be heavenly 

Oh, I wish I had a special judge 

 

Where I could raise my hand 

And take the special right to meet you 

Where I would sacrifice myself 

To bring you back to us 

 

Oh, my dear dad, you are my superhero 

I will wait for the moment 

When you are desperate to meet me 

But for now, I will do good deeds for you
