He's guided me through all these years,
And he's still the one to wipe my tears.
Afraid to show any sign of emotion,
To me he's given his most devotion.
Through hell and back he's held my hand,
Now he may be called to the promise land.
I want to scream and I want to cry,
Please, Daddy...please don't die!
I need you here to help guide me,
You can't just let me be.
You've always been my solid rock,
This cancer you have is such a crock.
I don't understand why it's taken you as its host,
Our relationship isn't understood by most.
You've always been there, that I can't deny,
If you go I'll always wonder why.
The house will feel empty and alone,
Of this life you have blown.
Left me here to deal with the pain,
The cancer has you to gain.
I don't understand, I can't believe it's true,
It's left me feeling so very blue.
Questions race through my head, answers never found,
We'll bury your body under a mound.
A simple headstone to mark your place,
Inside, I hope you've been blessed by grace.
Lived your life to the fullest, as much as you did,
To me, you never did fib.
Why you and why here and now?
I promise your memory I won't disavow.
The cancer eats you from inside out,
I don't know what this world's about.
Death is smelt in the air all around,
It seems after you it is abound.
I'm scared to death to lose you now,
I'm afraid to show you my worried brow.
I'm losing the one who means most to me,
The shaking fear won't let me be.
I don't know what to do, I don't know where to turn,
Life's cruel, and that's my lesson learned.
