1. Title: “For My Baba“
No chance to say goodbye,
Your memory makes tears multiply.
A message on my heart, a lasting tie,
An enduring bond that will never die.Lessons learned, a silent guide,
In your wisdom, I found my stride.
Strength, courage, love, and knowledge, true,
Gifts from you that continually renew.Through tears, you brought a smile,
Turning my life, mile by mile.
Despite the hurts, the pain we knew,
My love for you remains strong and true.In life’s tapestry, you play a part,
An indelible mark on my heart.
Though goodbye was left unsaid,
Love for you persists, like a thread.
2. Title: “Life Lessons“
You might have thought I didn’t see,
Or heard lessons you shared with glee.
But, Dad, every word, I did perceive,
In my heart, your teachings weave.You may have assumed I missed it all,
Feared we’d grow distant, a distant call.
But, Dad, I absorbed each impart,
It’s etched on my heart, a cherished art.
Without you, Dad, I wouldn’t be,
The person standing here, strong and free.
You laid a foundation, steadfast and true,
A gift no one can undo.Your values shaped who I’ve become,
I’m grateful for the lessons, every one.
So here’s to you, dear father, amid,
Forever grateful, your thankful kid.
3. Title: “Your Very Own Guardian Angel“
Losing a father, burden heavy to bear,
His quiet strength, missed everywhere.
In heaven’s embrace, take comfort and sigh,
He watches, guides, from the sky.A guardian angel, your eternal guide,
Through the years, in every stride.
In Heaven, a reunion serene,
Where broken hearts finally convene.His absence, a void, a silent plea,
Yet, his love resonates, endlessly.
In the tapestry of memories, he weaves,
Comfort and solace, the heart receives.So, through the tears and the pain,
Know that his presence will sustain.
In Heaven’s embrace, a love to transcend,
A bond unbroken, until the very end.
4. Title: “A Happy Man”
When these graven lines you see,
Traveller, do not pity me;
Though I be among the dead,
Let no mournful word be said.Children that I leave behind,
And their children, all were kind;
Near to them and to my wife,
I was happy all my life.My three sons I married right,
And their sons I rocked at night;
Death nor sorrow never brought
Cause for one unhappy thought.Now, and with no need of tears,
Here they leave me, full of years,–
Leave me to my quiet rest
In the region of the blest

In all you do, we’re forever glad.

You’re cherished in every way!
6. Title: “His Epitaph“
Under the wide and starry sky,
Dig my grave, where dreams shall fly.
Gladly lived, and willingly rest,
Laid down with purpose, feeling blessed.This verse, etched on my final bed:
Here lies he, where his heart had led.
Home is the sailor, returned from the sea,
The hunter now home, from the hill so free.Beneath the celestial expanse,
Find my peace, in nature’s trance.
Gladly lived, with spirits still,
Resting now with a tranquil will.In this space where I’ll repose,
A sailor’s rest, as the story goes.
Home from the sea, and hills embraced,
Underneath the stars, eternally graced.

Whenever I need you, you’re right there.In my heart, a place you own,
A superhero since I’ve known.
