"Dad's Poem"

You never said "goodbye"

You were gone before I knew it.

And only God knew why.

There are no words to tell you

Just what I feel inside

The shock, the hurt, the anger

Might gradually subside.

A million times I'll need you

A million times I'll cry

If Love alone could have saved you

You never would have died.

In Life I loved you dearly

In death I love you still

In my heart you hold a place

That no one could ever fill.

It broke my heart to lose you

But you didn't go alone

For part of me went with you

The day God took you home.

Things will never be the same

And although it hurts so bad

I will smile whenever I hear your name

And be proud you were my Dad.
