Dad

Why did you go?

I needed to know,

I know you were in pain

And now it's gone.

But how did you know,

Life couldn't go on?

I know the bad days were so long,

But I hoped the good days,

Would keep you strong.

That day in December,

When I was told

That day was so bright

But oh so very cold,

You took your life:

You couldn't see

That you stopped my life

Temporally.

I started my life myself

It was supposed to be a time of joy.

That we could share,

But instead was put on a shelf.

I will never know

What you think of me.

I hope you'd be proud

Of would you would see

I also charm people,

Down from the tree.

Now that time has passed,

The wounds are healing

Everyone knows your life had meaning.

You brought me joy

Especially my mother.

Oh dad I miss you so,

I know you cared.

And you let that show

That was a point were you fell down

You needed us,

And we weren't around.

We did all of us care

But you needed our time

And we had none spare.
