Four Years
It was four years ago tonight when Dad died.
He couldn't beat cancer even though he tried.
Dad died four years ago tonight at the age of sixty-five.
He received chemo and transfusions but he didn't survive.
After battling leukemia for twenty months, his battle came to an end.
When I lost my dad, I lost my next of kin.
Four years ago, I lost both of my parents and that was very sad.
It was four years ago tonight when we had to say goodbye to Dad.
[Dedicated to Charles F. Johnson (1947-2013) who died on July 13, 2013.]
