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
