3288 Days

Today I will sit and cry For all the days that have gone by All the lectures that have gone unheard And all the lessons that are not learned 3288 days since you had to leave this place countless tears that have ran down my face Some days are good and some are bad All I know is I miss you dad So today I'm going to sit and cry Because today is the day that you died 5/21/07

It is sometimes difficult to understand life's lessons until those special teachers in our lives are no longer there. A touching sad write.

Thank you. I thought it might come off a little childish, but this comment makes me feel better about the wording.
