Hannah, wherever you may be

I just want to thank you very much

For all the love you gave to me

You've always kept hidden in your heart

I sheltered you from every harm

with my love you always felt warm

Even if you're no longer with me

I always remember you're pure and genuine love,

and cherish it in my heart

Most of all, dear Hannah

Thank you for all the joy and laughter you have brought,

and for simply being with me

Even just for 442 days

The joy I felt will never be the same...ever

I will never forget you, no matter what.

Today, the 8th of November

Please accept this poem which I offer,

And know that I do love you

Papa
