I Wonder How I'D Be Today

You ended your life; It’s just not fair. What about me? You left me here. They let me see you; One last time, Connected to tubes, And a life support line. I told you I loved you, I kissed you good-bye. I begged you to fight; You chose to die. I wish you spoke on your final call; I heard you breathing, and that was all. You should have fought; You should have tried. They pulled the plug , And you just died. Daddy couldn’t bare to say good-bye; How do you watch your child die? So many times you caused him pain; He never left you alone in shame. Was life so bad you had to die? Why couldn’t you fight? Why couldn’t you try? I wonder how you’d be today? I’ll never know since you went away. We have a nephew he shares your name; I pray he doesn’t share your pain. What do we tell him, about you? The uncle who couldn’t see life through. You should be here to watch him grow; Know you’re the uncle he’ll never know. You had so much love left to give; Why couldn’t you fight? Why couldn’t you live. Your life wasn’t easy, or even fair; Why couldn’t you fight? Why couldn’t you care? I wonder how I’d be today; If you didn’t die that April day?
