Losing A Father

They said you went away today

And that you never would comeback

Your whole family was visiting you

But why where they all in black

They said you went to sleep for good

I even tried to wake you up

I offered you a drink of pop

But you wouldn’t take the cup

I beat on your chest

Then begged and pleaded

Please wake up daddy

You're the one I needed

But now they lay you down

To that square hole in the earth

I will always love you, daddy

I have since birth
