Because of You Dad

My eyes still see as the retinae amassed the glimpses of you dad My heart still beats As it doesn't believe your demise And always pumps vibes of you dad My mind still works As the amygdalae in my brain recalls the emotional memories of you dad My lungs still breath As pulmonary artery carries zephyr and resonates with you dad And my lifespan extends Because my days echo your thoughts And start living for you too dad

Thank you for writing and posting this, Supraja. I lost my father almost 30 years ago, and it was hard, so I'm sorry you have to go through this, too. What a poignant tribute to your father. Blessings, Jennifer
