The Circle of...

I wrote this for my dad. I miss him still.

The Circle of….
Love, Respect, Faith and Family

We were all invited in and asked to stay
Or to come back as often as we wished,

In the circle we always felt honored,
Valued, respected, loved

We were given the opportunity to be heard
To be wrong, to be right, or to just be

The circle gave us the strength to grow,
The courage to learn, the power to leave

Our circle has lost a centre light,
And yet still shines on

Although your light shines now
In a greater place

Our circle will stand strong,
With you still at our center

Our light may be dimmer today,
But not for long

Within your circle we learned to shine.
Through love, respect, faith and family
