Pieces of My Dad

Yesterday made it a year since you've been gone My heart still hurts like it happened last week I remember the good times with a warm smile Then the reality hits me in the face, it hurts deep I look around my room at the pieces you left behind The tall clock that you loved to brag about, that I adore The painting of the woodsy scene that leads to a beach Reminds me of our special times together at the coast A fun day of antiquing with a special seafood lunch You loved to take me on the scenic ocean drive We admired all the historic mansions along the way I wish I could go back in time, and relive that day I can still remember your voice calling my name I hope that memory stays strong, never fades Every room has pieces and memories of you As I look at them, enjoying them so bittersweetly
