Dad

You were there

when the lights dimmed

around me and enveloped the

air into a darkness, that was so still

and cold and hungry in the twilight of

my life that moves silently along through

days and nights of work and sleep, like a train

trudging through the hills and dales of a lifetime

filled with so many wonderful thoughts and memories

that we shared together amidst ups and downs that came along

and kept us alive in this revolving globe that rolls along until eternity.
