You taught me patience
You taught me silence
You taught me to observe
And nature, animals to serve
You were true and present
You were authentic and silent
You knew the name of all trees
And you needed nature to breathe
You were my mountain
You soothed often my pain
Thanks to your kind and sincere face
I managed to find my place
No better choice for me
To be your daughter
And for you to be my father
You remain in my heart for ever
Rest in peace, now you are free
I will forget you never
