In the realm of memories, my dear dad,
I find solace in the moments we had.
Little did I know, our last goodbye,
Would mark the end as time slipped by.
Oh, how grateful I am for all you taught,
Lessons woven with love, so dearly sought.
You were more than a father, you were my guide,
The embodiment of strength, always by my side.
Amidst nature's embrace, we found our way,
Camping and fishing, day after day.
Those adventures, now etched deep within,
Were more than mere fun, a lifelong discipline.
Through the crackling fire and starlit nights,
You kindled wisdom in the warm campsite.
Each flicker of flame, a story to unfold,
Lessons whispered, in tales of old.
Patience, perseverance, as we cast our lines,
Nature's rhythm teaching, under distant pines.
You shared your knowledge, with passion and pride,
Transcending the roles of father and guide.
And now, as I stand on the shores alone,
Memories like waves crash, a bittersweet tone.
But the legacy you left, forever I'll keep,
Embedded in my heart, where love runs deep.
Though you've departed from this earthly plane,
Your spirit lives on, a flame that won't wane.
For the man you were, so incredible, true,
Will be forever cherished, Dad, I love you.
As I navigate life's uncharted streams,
Your teachings inspire, guiding my dreams.
So, with every step, I'll honor your name,
Walking in your footsteps, my eternal aim.
In the quiet moments, when I'm lost in thought,
I'll find you in nature, the lessons you brought.
And when I cast my line or gaze at the stars,
I'll feel your presence, bridging the scars.
Thank you, dear dad, for all that you gave,
In memories treasured, your spirit engraves.
Though we're apart, your love never fades,
A bond unbroken, in every escapade.
So, as I bid farewell, on this earthly plane,
I'll carry your love, like an eternal flame.
Forever grateful, forever in debt,
To the most incredible man I ever met.
