Bred and bonded,
My childhood was amazing,
With him in his embrace I stayed in comfort,
His loving arms that wrapped around me,
And shielded me from threats,
And his gentle fingers that wiped away my tears,
His soft and mellifluous voice that sung me lullabies,
His steady and optimistic nature that gave a better outlook on the life that I now foresee,
His memory so vast and his loss so poignant,
Reminiscing his presence only shatters me in tears,
Knowing this time he won't be there to wipe them away,
Or to kiss my cheek and console me.
