For My Dad

Last year on this day
the crewl world took my daddy away
I can't believe it's been a year
since I've been able to see your face here
People say: Death makes you stronger
but for your girl it will take longer
All I can do is remember your love
and believe your watching from above
A Guardian Angel we all know
watching us as we grow
Sadly missed and fondly remembered
Our memories of you will always be treasured
