Sabrina Niday Hansel Poet Epic

We Lost More Than a Dad

We lost more than just a Dad that day
We lost half of how we came to be
We lost we four girls first love
We lost our Best Friend

We lost more than just a Dad that day
Our Mom lost her Soul Mate, Her other half 
Our children lost their Papaw
We lost our family’s foundation 
We lost the glue that held us together

We lost more than just a Dad that day
We lost the Strongest man we ever knew 
We lost the man we looked up too
We lost we four girls Teacher of many things

We lost more than just a Dad that day
We four girls lost our Hero
We lost some of our Light
We lost part of our Heart
We lost part of our Soul

We lost more than just a Dad that day
We lost some of our Courage
We lost some of our Strength
We lost some of our will to fight back
We lost some of our will to carry on
We four girls lost more than a Dad
We lost more than just a Dad that day

Judy Konos January 5, 2016 at 4:01 PM Thank you for being in my contest. I have an idea that your Dad is in Heaven with the Lord and keeps watch over you. The next time you go outside "Look Up" and wave , "Hi Dad!" I do it all the time.. Sabrina Niday Hansel January 6, 2016 at 12:27 AM Thank you for it! I speak to mine all the time too! Especially each time my son goes out the door.
