To My Daddy

To My Daddy

You didn't stay for my lifetime

To walk me down the aisle

I didn't have a chance

To have the father and daughter dance

That every girl looks forward to

All your wedding plans for me

Disappeared when you left

You didn't even say goodbye

You silently closed your eyes

Still after all these years

You live in my heart

Your memories give me strength

You are still so fresh on my mind

I can still hear your laughter 

And see your smile

I sometimes think

Any minute now you would pull up 

In the yard, as you used to

But that's just me thinking of you

REST IN PEACE DADDY

Today makes 31 years since you left us.
