Your Gone

I'm standing here
Strong and tall
With my game face on though
Deep down inside I want to scream and cry

I'm trying to be strong for the others
But, it's hard,
As I look around all I see
Is tears and sadness 'cause your gone

I didn't get a chance to sat good-bye
So yes I'm standing here to cry
Why did you have to leave so soon?

But...
I know your in a better place
Glad you got to rest
I can finally see the peace on your face

~In Loving Memory of my Papa~
