I'm sorry card is a wee bit late
Beautiful items take time to create
I'd like you knowing how special you are
Best father in the world by far
You've cared for me since my very first breath
No doubt will until the day you meet death
I do not always make it easy for you to be kind
Reasons to love me you never fail to find
Dropping me off desired destinations
I lacked my own transportation
You accept me the way that I am
Helping when getting myself into a jam
Still offering piggyback rides (if need be)
Though I weigh more than I did at three
You have my back whether wrong or right
Still allow space to win my own fight
I make messes again and again
Advice taken from you now and then
You and Mom raised to be proud and strong
Integrity instilled so I can tell right from wrong
I have zero clue what the future may hold
Realized time more valuable than gold
Although the one loved the most now is gone
No other choice but drag our feet and carry on
I continue waiting for colors to shine bright once more
The world will never appear as vibrant as before
I miss her laugh and how she smelled
Since the day she passed away earth has felt more like hell
I hear words she said always echoing in my head
"You will regret treating me bad when I'm dead"
The silence permeating house reminds me they were true
Residence doesn't seem like home without BOTH of you
She would not want us to be forever sad
We must find a way to focus on the good moments had
But for now darkness inhabits two souls
Ingesting substances
Never filling holes
You have aged one more year
How could we celebrate without mom here?
I don't blame you making it just another day
I feel exactly the same way
Hopefully next year will be brave enough
Sing happy birthday although it will be tough
Her memory lives on for infinity in our hearts
For her have to do our best to heal our broken parts
So happy belated
Hope card causes you to smile
That the quality made the wait worthwhile
I'm your favorite daughter
You only have one
Tethers that connect us will never come undone
