dad
tears roll down my face staining my cheek
I don't want to cry,I don't want to seem weak
but it's so hard to do when I think about what I had
the absolute funniest most amazing dad
I cant believe that you are really gone
it's all so unreal to me
daddy there's somewhere you need to be
with your loving family
you should be out fishing
I shouldn't be left here wishing
wishing I could hug you one more time
leaving me at 18 is simply a crime
everyday I'd wait for you to get home from work
some days you'd be taking forever driving me beserk
finally I'd see you come through the back gate
I'd greet you at the door, and ask why you were late
on weekends we'd watch t.v
you'd sit in the recliner and fall asleep
snoring so loud and talking in your sleep
I just want you back home
but I just tell myself your happier now
a cold beer in your hand
sitting in the nice cool sand
your pole is in the water
the bobber just shot to the bottom
a fish is on your line
so is it selfish of me to ask for some more time?
