In the quiet spaces of our lives, where words often fail to reach, poetry emerges as a sanctuary for the unspoken, the unfelt, and the unresolved. This collection is a voyage into the heart of absence-the silent echo of a father's absence. It is an exploration of the spaces between the words

"I miss you," a journey through the landscape of longing, resilience, and the indomitable spirit of those who navigate the complex path of fatherlessness.

This book does not aim to fill the void left by absence. Instead, it seeks to illuminate the contours of this void, to give it shape, and to find within its depths a profound sense of understanding and connection.

Through the medium of poetry, we delve into the myriad emotions that accompany the journey of growing up without a father, exploring themes of longing, imagined connections, the search for identity, and the discovery of strength in solitude.

The poems within these pages are both an ode and a solace-a recognition of the pain and the beauty found in the absence. They are a testament to the resilience of the human heart, capable of finding light in the darkest of places and of weaving from the threads of loss a tapestry rich with love and hope.
