For You I'Ll Stay

Wanting something to take the pain away, Waiting for someone to find the right words to say, I can think of so many things that could easily take it all away, But i would prefer to stay on this planet another day. Only for one special person, that I know is counting on me, As much as i miss you, I will stay daddy. I know you are counting on me to stay strong, But sometimes I look at everything wrong. Feeling like no one cares, and I do nothing right, I just want to fly up into that bright light. I hear it's beautiful, I wish to see, But i guess I shall wait, & let it be. Because the decision is not mine to make, But when I get home, oh how happy i'll be, For no one to overpower or control me. Please forgive me daddy for I know defeat wasn't how I was taught, But sometimes it's hard to block out all of these negative thoughts. So one day, I shall hear that laugh, and see that smile, That I haven't seen in such A long while. I won't forget so many things that you taught me, Like that you will love the person that i want to be. I hope you are proud, I try my best, Thank you for watching over me daddy, I know I am truly blessed.

Such a lovely tribute to your father. You are doubly blessed, by having a father who cares about you and by being able to write so well about him.
