What We Didn'T Know

I know you held me the day I was born and thought how beautiful and she’s all mine You swore to protect me with your own life and watch me grow with time. What we didn’t know was that you would be snatched away like a leaf blowing in the wind. What we didn’t know was that we would never see you again All things happen for a reason yes this we know. But we still ask why sometimes because we can’t let go When you love someone and their taken and you can’t say goodbye All we have are memories and nothing left to do but cry We cry because we are sad we cry because we are mad We cry because everyone else has one but we lost our dad Your birthday comes we place flowers on your grave Father’s day follow and we place flowers on your grave The same routine just a different day or year But we rather have you daddy standing right here No matter how much I need you now, Heaven needed you more. Heaven was needing a hero someone so brave and so true Heaven needed a hero...God wasted no time choosing you.
