Only If

With tears eroding smiles off my face
To u I humbly write this letter in sadness
Only if you can read

On a fateful heart breaking day 
Face covered in blood you left us in dismay
Only if you had known

Blood sugar tied you in a death yoke
Helpless and hopelessly captured in orphanage hook
We couldn’t only if you were with us

But why couldn’t you wait for a grand daughter 
Sad not to see your first seed as a great doctor 
Only if you knew so early basket you couldn’t kick

In a darkest home down the grave you now dwell
Badly missed why for once you don’t say hello
Only if you are capable

We lost, to the dead dad you now belong 
Always remembered despite time being so long
 A decade gone, continue resting in peace
