My father died today,
A piece of me is gone.
He no longer walks the earth
But so much of him lives on.
He left so many things behind.
I wear his scowl, his eyes, his hair.
And when I gaze upon my son,
I see my father there.
He made me laugh, he made me cry,
He made me mad, but strong.
He showed me how to live a life
And taught me right from wrong.
I know he loved me fiercely,
The way he held my hand told me it's true.
And when we saw a little girl,
With tears he whispered, "she looks like you."
His last words to me were
"It's okay, don't cry".
Mine to him should have been
"My love for you won't die".
I miss my daddy........
Me too...
