I dedicate this poem to my father who left this world October 22nd 2009.
Daddy, don’t leave me
There’s so much left to do, so much left to say
How can this even be
I took for granted you’d be there at the end of the day

Your laughter, your smile
Ever working and achieving
Your love, your faith
Your endless sense of giving

Daddy, don’t leave me
There should always be time to say goodbye
How can this even be
I can’t seem to wipe the tears from my eyes

I feel pain and anger
A hopeless aching grief
I feel love and loss
A fading sense of disbelief

Daddy, you’re leaving
I’m trying so hard to say goodbye
I know this is real
There’s nothing left for me but to cry

I need you, I’ll miss you
I can’t promise I won’t cry
I’m sorry I’m not strong
Enough to even try

Daddy, I love you
Thank you for all you gave in life
Daddy, I love you
I guess it’s time to say goodbye
