2 Years

2 Years It’s been two years now daddy Since you left me here alone I still lie awake and wonder If you’ll ever come back home Then I remember that you can’t make it For different reasons than I wish The next time I see you dear father Will be when I come home to you I still miss you more than ever I never thought I’d make it this long Without you guiding me and encouraging me With everything I do You have never judged me for anything No matter what I have done You have always been my hero dad For that I regret never saying I am thankful for the time we had But am greedy for the time we don’t I will never get over losing you I will always wonder why I will always lie awake and cry And wonder often times why you had to die I have asked God why he took you Why didn’t he take me instead? I always felt like he slipped up And got the wrong one instead I know there is a reason You left me way too early I do not think I will ever get it though Nor, will I ever accept it There are so many things I don’t understand When I look at your picture By my bedroom wall You give me the answers And the strength To withstand it all I love you daddy, and I miss you every day. We will meet again and you can hold me like you always did when I was little. Only this time I will not wither out of your arms. Happy Birthday Dad! R.I.P. Larry Wagoner 12/19/1956 – 12/19/2006
