Miss You Dad Only Love

Consult the elders 
And ask them if 
In times gone bye 
Everyone died
Of a form of Cancer
Or mind Dementia 
Because the only reason people seem to pass away
In the world today 
Is contracting Cancer
Or Dementia 

Neither which I wish to suffer
So if I wake
And what's on offer
Is either of this
Do us both a mutual favor
And don't prolong my time on earth
If just more pain Im bound to suffer

Because we could not bare that Christmas Day
Death came a calling and we were not ready
To bid you farewell  
So 3 more days in pain you lay

Suffering capitulation
Till all this pain and degradation
Came to and end
And you are now in a better place
To council angels
In the everafter 

Where I hope you find
Some form of answer
Why you have left us behind 
And why I cannot understand 
Why you've gone
And why Ill never
Put you to rest
In my dreams 
And every thought

I love you Dad ever more of every minute
Now that you are not in it
Life is such a loss of time
And now that you have come to pass
All the things I wished to say
And should have said
Keep me awake and i must take
To my grave

So forgive me Dad for what I should have said
Instead of writing it when your dead

We need to take every opportunity we can to share our love, sad write Christopher but I fear this happens all to often...
