A Father Lost

A Father Lost


Today we mourn the loss of you,
a day,… the last we can review
This life so lost, and full of pain,
Why couldn’t you see all you had to gain?

A child now knowing 12 days of you
what do we tell him, what’s he going to do...
Soon he will have questions that abound,
so where do we find truths when they cant be found?

Time is not as we perceive it to be,
it goes by faster than we’ll ever see.
And as I walk the stairs that life has given,
I’ve had to escort many friends to heaven.

For reasons unknown I am here still,
they say its because I have a very strong will.
But once again I’m at death’s door,
who this time…please no more.

Then told another lost in this sea,
now dead you are, never again to be.
How could I have ever have made you see,
the things you did that kept you from being free…

Now in this world your dead to all,
why dear child did you have to fall.
Away from those that really need you
Now nothing within your ability to do.

'Cause you took on this life…
thought it was a game,
it beat you…and it beat you
‘till you weren’t the same.

What do I tell your child one day?
When he looks to his gammie with so much to say.
I wanna know my dad, now, today...
Please my gammie make a way!

Now all the hopes we had are gone,
You are dead to this world, so I guess it’s so long.
Until we meet again one day,
For my grandson, and for all, I will continue to pray.
