This poem is about a man reflecting on the loss of his father over time. He recalls memories of his father's voice, face, and laughter that he still thinks he hears and sees from time to time. While the pain has lessened with the years, he still deeply misses his father and wishes he could have one last hug. When he looks in the mirror now, he sees his father's eyes looking back at him, which still makes him feel that his father is near, even if only in his dreams.
