Helen's Daughter
Helen’s Daughter
By Joeysguy
Helen, Since your daughter is back with you
This writing is long overdue
When your daughter became my wife
I also became her protector in life
She developed heart problems like you
And died because of it too
I feel I failed to keep her alive
I’m sorry that she didn’t survive
Lots of my memories bring out my tears
But I wouldn’t trade away any of those years
Being with her on that very last day
That’s the time I wish I could trade away
Will you watch over her with care
Hold on to her till the day that I get there
She has given me some special days
With balloons and candles I show some loving ways
I never new how empty I could be
Until your daughter passed and left me
I was a husband to my wife
Now a widower for the rest of my life
