My Papa

Remember me when im gone 
this was the last thing he said
as he laid there in his lumpy hospital bed 

My Papa was there for me 
from the minute I was born
and continued to support me throughout my life

from my first bike ride 
to my first writing contest
I could always count on him
to be my biggest fan

When I was going on ten
he was diagnosed with cancer 
and the doctor said he wouldnt live
he fought it for months
and woke up at five in the morning every day
but he didnt make it 

he gave me the most important lesson 
that no one else ever can
Live your life to the fullest
and never let it get you down 
because life is to short to take for granted.
