SILENT LEGACY

In the quiet echoes of a decade past, My father, a giant, forever cast. In stature small, yet charisma grand, A brilliant soul, in my heart, withstands. No tears flowed when he took his leave, A well of emotion, I chose to deceive. Guidance sought, a void remained, His love I craved, yet unattained. A child yearned for a father's embrace, To guide, to love, to leave a trace. Yet destiny's path, a different script, Left my heart silently equipped. His achievements tower, a daunting height, A shadow cast on my uncertain night. To be half the man, a daunting quest, Yet in that yearning, I find my zest. Emotions unspoken, a silent scream, His memory lingers in every dream. In pursuit of greatness, his ghost I chase, In every heartbeat, I feel his grace.
