I want to know the reasons you smile, frown, cry, smirk.
The reasons your eyebrows curve, your forehead wrinkles.
The reasons you're happy, sad, angry, grumpy, bored, sleepy.

But you don't want me to.

your smile shines bright
memories unforgettable
nothing lasts forever

¿
Falling to nowhere
Bracing myself
Towards nothingness
For I am nothing but a failure.

Head towards my chest
Hands on my side
Straight downward I go

¿


Downwards to nothingness.

Will I find love if I go right?
For me to love, should I learn to take flight?
Oh, I will try with all my might,
To find the one who'd be in heart's sight.

Alas! Where do I begin my search?
Will I find love on a lovebird's perch?
To find the one who'll wear the veil at the church.
And in time, the one who'll offer a faithful dirge.

If I stare at the wind, will I find love?
Shall I find love if I look above?
Oh, will this heart learn to throb?
Or will I just find a reason to sob?

Hello Dad, It's been awhile
You are away, a thousand miles
But you're in my heart, all this while.
Here enough to make me smile.

All this time, you're in my heart
Not just at heart, but also in mind.
It's just hard for me to see.
How hard it is to grow without you here with me.

I got used to the fact that you're not here.
But I never lose hope that you’ll ever come back.
It’s always in my mind that you are my Dad.
Like a solid rock that can never be cracked.

On your special day, I offer you this.
To let you remember that you are always missed.
A poem from a son who always loves you
Who gives these words from heart so true.

— The End —
