For My Dad

Why did you have to leave me Dad Why did you go away? Theres so much I want to tell you Dad So much I have to say You shouldnt have gone and left me Dad You know it isnt fair There are many times important times I need my Daddy there You are my inspiration Dad You are my shining light I remember your many words Dad And try to do things right I hear your words all the time Dad You talk to me I listen But its the advice, the chats, the love you gave Thats what Im really missing I follow your example Dad I do things that you would do Im sorry I like garlic Dad But I hate the French like you I have brought my boys up as you would have Dad I know how proud of them you would be They show respect and caring Dad Just the way that you taught me I try to live the right way Dad Its difficult without you here Though I know you are right beside me Dad I know that you are near I sit sometimes and cry Dad Because I miss you so I cannot believe when I think Dad You died 10 years ago
