Why

Why? Daddy…I wish that I could ask you, Why did you have to leave? We were only very young, …Yet old enough to grieve! One day we played together, You laughed and held my hand, Then you were gone forever, I cannot understand? You must have known we loved you, Without you we were lost, You took the warmth and happiness, And replaced it all with frost! To us you were a hero, Our Daddy and our guide, We were far too young to know, About the demons hid inside. Something snapped within you, And took away all hope, You walked upon that rocky road, And found you couldn’t cope. We thought on you we could depend, Your love we all would share, But your life you had to end, And no longer were you there? Daddy…I wish that I could ask you, Why did you have to leave? We were only very young, …Yet old enough to grieve!
