I speak to you, my child, so you may let me go, let me rise to the heavens, where the angels await me. I speak to you, my child, so you know that I am at peace, so you allow me to continue my journey, where I am meant to be. I speak to you, my child, so you don’t hold me back, so you let me run among the clouds, where my path has only just begun. I speak to you, my child, so you set me free, so you let me let go, where my soul will finally be free. Father, I have understood that letting you go is to set myself free. Father, here I light these five candles, one to thank you for every gift, one to thank you for every moment we shared, one to honor all your sacrifices for me, one for every inspiration and affirmation, one to cherish every touch and every kiss. Five candles that hold all the love you gave me. Was it enough or not? It was all we knew how to give. I let you go. Rest in peace. I love you, Father.

LET ME GO (A Father’s Farewell)
It doesn’t seem to fade Nor ever cease to invade you never care to confront Nor ready to take the brunt Bring that side of yours Dipped in biting cold numb and growing old Running afar from life Let those waves from the ocean Which lost its way to the shore tickle those buried emotions Which never kissed your eyes Hold that scar with grit Feed thy love till it chokes And being it back to life Than it was ever before While the scar seems to fade Slowly comes the wound The one you can feel The one only you can heal
