I miss you dad
Sometimes it's so bad
It's so hard to stay strong
When everything is going wrong

I miss the way we used to dance
And you'd twirl me when you had the chance
I miss the way you'd take me to town
And buy me ice cream when I had a frown

Oh why did you have to get so sick
Why was it you god had to pick
Daddy why did you leave me
Now I feel like I'm lost at sea

What am I supposed to do without you?
I often wonder, do you miss me too?
I can't imagine what it's like up there
At least you have no pain or anguish to bare

My birthday is in a few days
And I wonder if I've earned your praise
Will you look down on me and smile
I'm not perfect yet, it will take a while

Will you look at my arms and frown
Will you understand why I feel so down
All these questions without answers
Eating at me like a thousand cancers

My soul is dying without you here
And it worsens year after year
I feel like I'm drowning in an ocean
But silently, so as not to cause a commotion

I hide my every emotion
So my friend's can keep their devotion
I can't stand this sickly world
Everything was fine when you and I twirled

And as I write these last rhymes
I still recall those sweet old times
When you would bounce me on your knee
And tell me how much you loved me

A/N:..miss you dad...
