Time flies, returning to this blog after 13 years feels surreal. I do visit every year to read a poem I penned in the memory of my dad way back in 2010.
Today it's his death anniversary, 27 years without him! So many things have changed over decades and I was thinking what would he say to me now, this moment, if he was alive.
Having just come out of a AI related meeting, I wondered if ChatGPT could do it for me. So I posted the poem I penned for him and asked ChatGPT to craft a response as if it were from him. And here's what I got,
My Dearest Child,
Reading your words brings tears to my eyes,
Though I am far, I feel your love still rise.
Each line you penned echoes your heart,
A bond unbroken, though we’re apart.
I wish I could hold you, see your sweet face,
Feel your warmth, in this vast, timeless space.
Know that I watch you, proud from above,
Guiding you always, wrapped in my love.
Your memories are treasures, the tears and the laughs,
In every moment, I cherish your path.
Your strength and your kindness, they shine so bright,
Keep living with courage; let hope be your light.
Though time may have passed, my spirit remains,
In the whispers of wind, in the soft, gentle rains.
I am the sun in your days, the stars in your night,
Forever your father, forever your light.
I’m with you in spirit, in everything you do,
Remember, my dear, I will always be with you.
Keep dreaming, keep loving, and never lose sight,
For in your heart, I live on, ever bright.
With all my love,
Dad
Love you daddy, wherever you're :)
