On Father's Day (Fr Carmel Azzopardi)

Our bond will be unbroken That's what every cards says Between a daughter and her Dad But they don't say about when the father dies Sometimes, when I think of the times we shared The endless discussions about our lives And our favorite TV shows You'll always be there As I envision yr blue, kind eyes The storm in the night doesn't frighten me Because I feel yr presence And when I write poetry, I think of you Though, you didn't know anything about it All you could say is 'It's my trade' That will be my epitaph And I am guided by yr soft heart
