The scent of pipe tobacco, a ghost in the air, A phantom embrace, a love beyond compare. His calloused hands, a map of time's slow trace, Etched with the stories of life's rugged race.

A Tapestry of Moments

His laughter, a song that echoes still, A melody of joy, against life's uphill. The stories he'd tell, by the fire's warm glow, Of triumphs and struggles, seeds that would grow.

The Strength of a Mountain

His eyes, deep pools reflecting wisdom's light, Guiding my steps through darkness and night. A silent strength, a rock I could hold, A story unfolded, brave and bold.

Gentle Hands, Gentle Heart

The way he'd mend toys, with patience and care, A love so profound, beyond all compare. The scraped knees he kissed, the tears he would dry, A love unconditional, reaching for the sky.

A Legacy of Love

Though time marches onward, and seasons may change, His memory lingers, a comforting range. In the rustling of leaves, the sun's golden ray, I see him still smiling, at the close of the day.

Echoes in the Wind

The lessons he taught, the values he'd share, A legacy of love, beyond all compare. In the quiet moments, when thoughts softly roam, I find him once more, and feel safe, feel at home.
