Sleep Tight
You had a heart off gold,known by a lot off people young and old.I cared for you right until the end ,you was my dad and best friend.I came to you every day ,I don’t want to rely on u I hear you say .But dad you mean everything to me .I remember right back to sitting on your knee .Then unfortunately you get copd.You tryed so hard to fight .So scared of me leaving you at night.Then you start to dehydrate The food I made u no longer ate.The dreaded time arrived when ur life took the dive,Down hill you could no longer take nebuliser or pill.Off to the hospital for a check,I get the call I’m a nervous reck.To the hospital with you I stay,major heart attack the nurses say.your organ now begin to shut down ,I cry and frown.Please dad don’t go,But your words and action become slow.Every night I slept in the hospital chair,brushing my fingers through your hair.Nurses came told me to freshen up at home , no I whont let my dad pass on his own .time has come you take you last breath ,rest in peace my angel your the best .
