For Her
last thoughts that i will have
shall ever be of you
anticipating what will come
when all of this is through
last words that leave these lips
shall be your lovely name
i’ll cry it out with passion for
as long as breath remains
last words that i shall hear
will come from our own child
it’s alright dad, just go to her
i’ll see you in awhile
last breath that i shall take
will follow with a kiss
the one from you, the other from
the daughter whom i’ll miss
last days you spent with me
i’ll treasure for all time
just know that i’m at rest, li’l girl
your mom and i are fine
