Eight Years Ago Today I Lost My Dad

Dad

Eight years ago today you left,

I feels like only yesterday,

Yet feels so long ago,

I wish I could hear your voice one last time,

See your face light up when you smile,

Be held in your big strong arms,

Just one last time.

Eight years ago today you left,

You left behind a broken hearted girl,

You left behind a family who miss you,

You left without saying goodbye,

You left before you got to meet my babies,

I know it wasn’t your fault,

But you left.

Eight years ago today you left,

I hope you are happy where you are,

Up in the clouds looking down,

I hope you are not in any pain,

I am sure you miss us,

I am sure you didn’t want to leave,

But you had to.

Eight years ago today you left,

I lost my daddy,

My rock,

My friend,

I miss you every day with all my heart,

I love you so much,

And I always will.
