Thirty Five Years

Thirty five years ago my Dad took his last breath.

Thirty five years on, there’s a new generation living life to the full.

Thirty five years ago I was a child.

Thirty five years on, I am an adult.

Thirty five years ago, my heart broke.

Thirty five years on, the scars of grief remains.

Thirty five years I’ve been living life longer without my Dad,

Than when he was in it.

Thirty five years he’s been gone.

Thirty five years on, he lives in our hearts and memories.
