A Moment of Frozen Time

Though I walk through the valley
Of the shadow of death
I will fear no evil
But when I walk into
My father's bedroom
I feel remorse
Time stops
As my eye's focus
When I turn on the lights
Look around
His name, certificates
Pictures of him
Adorned his walls
Emotions
Slowly overtake
Pulling me down
On my knees'
I lay my head
On his bed
My eyes
They weep
To me
Time stands still
When I mourn
For him
I searched
I seek
Desperately
For a sign from him
Then one night
I slept
First dream
Since my dad left
He came to me
Clear as day
He saw me
Came and hugged me
Told me
Everything
Will be alright
For that moment
Time was frozen
I woke up
With a smile
I desperately needed
Because
Before that
I missed him dearly
Kept that
Locked up
Inside of me
Had to
Continue to live
Not only for me
But my mother
We're alone
Together
Making strides
One day at a time
And if dad looks down
He'd be proud
Even though
He's physically not around
But when I sit in
A moment of frozen time
I think
Remembering times with him
I smile
Because my dad
Is always here
With me
