Rest well my father you have found your final peace.
Though your body now has gone to ash with me you'll never cease.
It's been a year and more now pops I still strive to do you proud.
Your words and voice still guide me on just now they're not out loud.
your fire faded so quickly it left me with many things unsaid.
My hopes my fears now prayed to you each night before i bed.
There's an empty spot in my life now where my hero used to stand.
He's out there now where i can't reach beyond times seeking hand.
Your heart of gold and loving hands so many friends they've found.
Took care of us and watched over us no matter where we were bound.
My path must lead me forward now your love and strength to guide me on.
Pops I'll make you proud and some day they'll know I am my father's son.
