My life as a shoe - 4. Heavy silence

The sun sets low casting shadows in my heart
Memories linger tearing me apart.
You were my guide my rock my friend
In every moment love that won't end.
But now the silence echoes through the night
With every tear I search for your light.

Oh how I wish I'd said it all
Every lesson learned every time you called.
Thank you for the laughter for the love you gave
In my heart you'll always be my saving grace.
But now I'm left with words that never found their way
In this heavy silence I long for yesterday.

Time slipped away like sand through my hands
In the busy moments I couldn't understand.
Now I sit alone haunted by the past
Wishing for a moment just one more glance.
The stories we shared the wisdom you gave
I hold them close but it feels like a grave.

Oh how I wish I'd said it all
Every lesson learned every time you called.
Thank you for the laughter for the love you gave
In my heart you'll always be my saving grace.
But now I'm left with words that never found their way
In this heavy silence I long for yesterday.

So here's to the memories the laughter and the tears
To the moments we shared through the long quiet years.
I'll carry your spirit through the storms and the pain
In the heart of my journey your love will remain.

I'll hold on tight to the love that we shared
In this world without you I know that you cared.
Though the tears may fall I'll find my way through
Forever grateful Dad for everything you do.

You were my guide my rock my friend
In every moment love that won't end.
But now the silence echoes through the night
With every tear I search for your light.

Oh how I wish I'd said it all
Every lesson learned every time you called.
Thank you for the laughter for the love you gave
In my heart you'll always be my saving grace.
But now I'm left with words that never found their way
In this heavy silence
your light will always glow.
