Goodbye Daddy

An unseasonably warm November day In my yard the unsuspecting kids play Left in my loving care with words unsaid Unaware of the tears they would shed Future's written, words are hurled Only eight but a girl of the world Hair of gold, no worries, no cares Not ready for what life would bear Where's daddy?, He didn't say goodnight It's not like him, it doesn't seem right Something's wrong, I need him now Take me to him, take me right now My tears did fall that very night My brother walked into the light Taken too soon, no chance to fight A child's nightmare, an uncles fright Fourteen years and the tears still fall His life was perfect, he had it all A wife, two kids, God his right hand man Succumbing to the fate of His master plan My heart still bleeds for my sweet little niece Goodbye my daddy, may you rest in peace
