Last Day
Dear dad,
Today,
is the day
and I am afraid.
I will come to tell you.
I have found my someone.
So I'm asking, will you walk me through?
Down the aisle
With my white gown.
Will you hand me over?
To this mean man.
So he can carry me away
possibly see you again someday?
Daddy?
I just wanted to let you know
As I sit on this white snow.
Writing to you.
That I am glad
You are my dad.
My heart has finally met it's match.
He's kind I tell you.
I am lucky to be with him, he's part of a special few.
But really I want to cry.
This man in all black is not mine.
Oh, why me?
That should not be dieing before my daddy!
Remember?
When I was a child.
We went for ice-cream.
We walked for a mile.
Just so I could sleep, a sweet dream.
And today
is the day
and I am afraid.
That death knocked on my door.
Took me away and married me.
Oh, how it's funny,
that you can still be free.
This is what he did daddy:
He reached out his hand,
and lied.
I lay out mine
and I died.
So I just wanted to let you know,
That you were the best.
I am glad,
That you were my dad.
And today,
I die,
And say,
Bye, Bye.
