Have the courage to be held a fool,

To give your all and let yourself fall,

Rest assured dear and fear not

For you know something others do not.



Let despair and gloom unfold,

Worry not and ever be bold,

For it all comes after and before,

To ones who fear not to spall.



For you know what some may not,

Or they willfully forgot,

Amidst the pain heaven awaits,

And love divine opens its gates

And the world is yours alone,

For as long until it’s gone.

How many miles would you walk,
how many miles would you run,
how many hours would you fly,
how many times would you die,
rise again new and try
ask yourself how and why,
to stop to crawl and start to fly.

How many tears would you shed,
how many nights alone in your bed,
how many thoughts in your head,
and wishes unsaid and unfed.

One brave soul,
can bear it all,
and pay the toll,
to reach that goal.

Never mind the miles,
never count your tears,
count your smiles,
and destroy the fears.

Distance may be great,
journey may be long,
though will make you strong,
and lead where you belong.

Only one brave heart,
family as its part,
makes miles vanish,
and though often far,
often longed and missed,
always by your side,
in truth never apart.

I would've given birth
To you,
Endured whatever
Mothers do.
Instead, I did
What Dads do.

I rocked you
Til my future shook;
Watched you til
I couldn't look.
As you changed,
I changed too,
To do the things
That Dads do.

You were bathed,
Dressed and fed;
I loved you so much
I was saved.

If there's credit,
Well, I get it,
For teaching you to read.
I took the blame
When you got bored
With school's ABC's.

I followed you
In all your roles,
Your teams,
Your solos,
Your trips,
Your shows.
First to clap,
Last to sit;
I taped it all,
From start -
To finish.

I taught you
How to tie a lace,
Ride a bike,
Golf and skate.
When time arrived
For you to drive,
You learned
On standard,
Never stranded,
You came home alive.

Your highs
I took in stride,
By example taught
Humility's pride.
Your lows,
I couldn't internalize,
I dropped my guard
With my eyes.

When Dad's do well
It's a double edge,
The future wedge.
The world
Revealed
Desired you too.
I don't dismiss
What mothers do,
But when Dads do well,
Both lose you.

Why can't you be horrible and full of unforgivable flaws?
Why does it gets worse and not better inside my stupid, devoted heart?
Why do you still feel the same to me?
Your skin hasn't lost that scent I knew
The scent I still know and can remember by simply closing my eyes
The scent I still desire and find familiar
Even if it really never was

After all these years,
after hours and hours,
looking at you face,
when I close my eyes,
I fail to see you,
I simply cant,
even though l know,
every litlle piece,
That makes you as u are,
every single piece
that l've kissed so much,
that l loved so much,
that l loved to touch.
I guess thats a proof,
that the love is still alive.
After many years,
as memories come along,
along with your face,
along with remorse,
along with the feeling,
the felling of sometnihg,
something lost,
something past,
something missing.
The years will come,
when all l have,
will be memories,
when l can only see you,
when l close my eyes,
I'll have to imagine,
imagine a feeling,
feeling of your touch,
feeling of your love,
cause you always imagine,
something that is gone.
