Your words rise in my memories
Some were sweet and some sour
I think of our time together
Almost every waking hour
And when the children come and say
Daddy, please can we do this today?
I try to hear what response you may
Have given to them in your day
So though we can't exchange our views
You still influence everything I choose
To do and say to those three young minds
Yes, your love for them still shows and shines
