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
