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.
