Thank You Dad! Till we meet again.

It was August 26, 2007. I am walking down the hospital hallway Fighting against the tears. Only an hour ago, I had been told my father is dying. And only an hour ago, My life came to a screeching halt. Somehow, my hair isn’t a priority Make-up doesn’t even cross my mind. I just feel a raging, overwhelming need to be with my Dad. Years had passed... But still, Thinking of him brings tears to my eyes It was so hard to believe That you were gone. Once so strong; Why did you have to leave? Why did you have to go? Daddy, you put me through college You did that by working with your hands You built big houses and painted tall walls Times were tough that I knew You did what you could, to help me through. You could fixed anything you laid your hands on There wasn’t a thing you couldn’t do With a little cement or some glue Just thinking about this, is making me blue Dad, our sadness knows no end; We can’t believe you’re gone; We’re grieving for you every day; It’s hard to carry on. You may have thought I didn't see, Or that I hadn't heard, Life lessons that you taught to me, But I got every word. Perhaps you thought I missed it all, And that we'd grow apart, But Dad, I picked up everything, It's written on my heart. I’m so sorry for all I put you through I Love you Daddy More than words can describe I wish you were here, I wish you were alive! Happy Father's Day!
