Helen's Daughter

Helen’s Daughter By Joeysguy Helen, Since your daughter is back with you This writing is long overdue When your daughter became my wife I also became her protector in life                                                              She developed heart problems like you And died because of  it too I feel I failed to keep her alive I’m sorry that she didn’t survive                                                  Lots of my memories bring out my tears But I wouldn’t trade away any of those years                                          Being with her on that very last day That’s the time I wish I could trade away Will you watch over her with care Hold on to her till the day that I get there She has given me some special days With balloons and candles I show some loving ways I never new how empty I could be Until your daughter passed and left me I was a husband to my wife Now a widower for the rest of my life
