Goodbye Daddy

She knelt down by his tombstone  
To say some more goodbyes 
And prayed a simple prayer 
As tears fell from her eyes 
She said “daddy, I still miss you 
And all the fun we had 
I know you wont be coming back 
And daddy this makes me sad 
But all in all daddy 
We did have a wonderful time 
I remember helping you make that clock 
And yes it still chimes 
I know you can’t hear me 
The preacher said you are dead 
But it makes me feel better 
Knowing the good life we led 
But daddy, you know something? 
I still miss you and that’s no lie 
Although you can’t hear me 
Being here soothes me when I cry 
I guess I’d better say goodbye 
Mommy’s waiting to chat a spell 
I’m just rolling all my wishes to you 
In this little nutshell 
I’m going off to college next week 
But don’t worry, I’ll still chat with you 
People might think I’m crazy you know 
But it’s something I’m still gonna do 
So long you wonderful daddy 
I’m glad I got this off my chest 
Now you just take a long, long nap 
And make sure you get plenty of rest
