To lose you
Daddy
Not ready to
Face the rest of
My life
Without your smile
Without your unique
Sense of humor
Without your amazing
Ability to see past the
Bad in me
And find the good
In spite do all the
Wrong I've done.
The fear in me
At the thought of
Living without you
In the world
To lift me up
When I've fallen
And to kick my ass
When I'm acting like one
Fills me with such
Hopelessness
I'm not ready
To lose you
Daddy...
Not at all...
But I will love you
Respect you
And keep the
Promises I made
And I know you'll
Keep yours
Because you see
Once upon a time
There was a little girl
Who would wait for her
Daddy
To come home from work
So that she could have
Daddy and I time
Where she would pull off
His shoes and socks
And rub his feet
Until the time he
Didn't come home...
Not for a long time
Not til the girl became
A woman
And they had
Met on the scortched bridge
That they had burnt
From either end
And together
They rebuilt it
And now
The girl is older
And her daddy
Is ill
Sick with a most
Horrid illness
And he stands
Poised on the edge of
Now and forever
And she feels just like
A little girl again
Waiting for her daddy
To go home
Where he can be
Beyond the pain
Wishing him a good journey
But wishing selfishly
For him to stay
Just a little longer
