I know that you will never come back onto this earth,
But your first daughter always thinks about you,
I know that sometimes you visit me in my dreams,
Speaks to me as if you’re still alive,
Guides me in my dreams
And that makes me happy
Even though I know that you won’t come straight to me because you’re no more.
But deep inside, I know you’re with us
Wherever we go
I know you protect us day and night
My father keeps on protecting me every day.
Sometimes, it hurts me when I see other people speak about their father in front of me.
Because I know mine is laying down the soil
Sometimes, I wish you were still alive
But there’s nothing I can do.
Things happened the way it was planned
Today, I am a mother,
My kids don’t know you,
Because you died when I was still a teenager
At the age of 17, I was just young
I didn’t know much about life
But life happened
I had to face the challenges alone
I miss you, Dad.
