A tear opened up in the fabric of our existence 

and you walked through it

into all eternity

Leaving us behind

staring at the empty air 

that used to enfold 

the existence of you

So deep a space 

that all our tears cannot fill it

So loved a space

that our hearts now ache in your absence

So rich a space

that our lives will now be a little less

with your leaving

but so much richer 

because you were here with us.

We love you dad.
