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!
