In the quiet corners of my heart, you reside,
Peepaw, my beacon, my steadfast guide.
I called you dad, a title worn with pride,
For in your embrace, I felt love's tide.
With every lesson, you shaped who I am,
A gentle hand in the rhythm of life’s jam.
You taught me to dream, to reach for the stars,
To find strength in kindness, and heal from our scars.
Your hugs were a fortress, warm and profound,
In your arms, sweet solace and safety I found.
You wrapped me in comfort, a sheltering dove,
Each squeeze whispered softly, “You’re worthy of love.”
Through laughter and stories, we shared every day,
In your wisdom, I wandered; in your joy, I would play.
The world feels much colder now you’re far away,
But your spirit, dear Peepaw, in my heart will stay.
Rest in heaven, my guiding light,
Though I miss you dearly, I’ll carry your might.
In the whispers of memories, in the rustle of leaves,
Your love blooms eternal, a tapestry weaves.
So here’s to the moments, the lessons you gave,
To the hugs that embraced me, and the courage to brave.
In every step forward, I’ll carry your name,
Peepaw, my dad, forever the same.
