"a Dark Day In Summer"
The darkest time for me would be loosing my Dad...
That day chills me forever as my heart is still sad...
A summer day like every other, but didn't see the
horror I would discover...
I walked into my parents house to help my Dad
carry some boxes from the porch...
And there he lay on the floor cold, as my
soul was like a blown out torch...
I quickly called for help and knew the next phone
calls would change my families lives...
To this day its still hard to call my Mom at work,
not knowing if my voice brings back her cries...
We all became closer as the family pulled together
as one and I am forever proud
for I will always be his Son....
