I speak to you, son,
so that you will let me go,
let me go to heaven,
where the angels await me.
I speak to you, son,
so that you will know I'm okay,
let me continue on my path,
where I must go.
I speak to you, son,
so that you will not hold me back,
let me run among the clouds,
where my path has just begun.
I speak to you, son,
so that you will let me go,
let me go,
where my soul will be free.
Father, I understood that letting go of you is freeing myself.
Father, here I light these 5 candles,
one to thank you for each gift,
one to thank you for each moment given,
one to thank you for all you sacrificed for me,
one for each motivation and each affirmation,
one to thank you for each caress and each kiss.
5 candles that show all the love you gave me.
It wasn't enough, or not enough,
but it was what we knew how to give each other.
I'm letting you go.
Rest in peace.
I love you, Father.
