Every Day

I sit with you every day

Watching as you fade away

Wishing there was more I could do

The person I see is really not you

I promise to you the very best

Until you take your last breath

So many lives that you touched

Made us all love you so much

I am supposed to be strong at will

Because I am Uncle Bill

But I must say every day I cry

As I sit and watch you die

There's  so much you helped us gain

Life for us will never be the same

I promise that I won't be sad

Great memories we both had

With this I give you one last kiss

And that you hang in there is my only wish!
