Can'T Let Go

You left us so quick, With no time to say good-bye. We didn’t even know you were sick, It just feels like it must be one big lie. So much I wanted to say, All the things we had planned to do. At night all I can do is ask God while I pray, To not let it be true. You was always tough as a nail, Nothing could ever get you down. You was never weak and frail, And very seldom would wear a frown. From a little girl to a woman, I have never stopped needing my dad. So many times I could have ran, But you told me to stand tall, even when things got bad. Sometimes my heart feels like it is going to break, I just want to scream and cry. I keep wondering how much more this mind of mine can take, Before this body of mine must lay down and die. The tears don’t easily flow, I keep thinking that everyone is wrong. They just don’t understand and know, That you will come back home before long. Dad, I need you so, I just can’t let you go!
