Septembers Pain

September went real fast.
33 years I wanted him to last.
A hug to show what he missed.

Who is this woman i see?
Some adult with no identity. 
The emptiness burns inside me.

Septembers pain fades. 
Two fathers have past away.
Children left, without a dad to love.
What could have been done?
Not knowing were he is.

33 years, and I share their tears.
Auntie Nelly, my daddy he died!
Children, listen to me,
So did mine.
