The love I have for Papa Will never fade away. I ’ ll think of him, my special friend Throughout each passing day. I ’ ll walk into the room And see his empty chair; Although I know he ’ s resting, I ’ ll feel his presence there. The memories of his laughter, His warm and loving smile, His eyes so full of happiness,

In the gallery of memories, a cherished frame, A father - in - Law ’ s love, a flickering flame. Through life ’ s journey, you stood tall, A guiding presence, now missed by all. In your smile warmth gently bestowed, A silent strength in life ’ s ebb and flow. As seasons change and shadows fall, your spirit lingers embracing all. Father, though you ’ ve taken flight, your lessons live in the soft moonlight. In the tapestry of time, woven strong, Your love endures and everlasting song. In every whispered breeze that sighs, in every tear that fills my eyes, your memory dances, forever enthralled, A daughter - in law ’ s love ever recalled. Sonya
