Dear Dad

Just to let you know when you died, I fell to my knees and cried. I cried so much it isn't funny All my tears won't stop running When I think of all the good times we had It really does make me sad When I look at you in your hospital bed I always bent down and said "Daddy I love you!" You always told me you loved me too When look at you It really does make me cry I wish I didn't have to say good bye Dad just to let you know when you died I fell to my knees and cried
