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
