A lost Father

about the day my dad passes away

I came home and cried the day they told me you died
I watched as mom weeped for a man she once loved
I watched as my sisters broke down
Not even the rock could keep her feet on the ground
I wanted to run till I could not run anymore
But mom put her arms around me before I could get out the door
She told me that everything would be all right
I saw as you lied in you casket
You were so clod as I leaned in to give you a kiss
Grandma wept so hard that day
You went a way
We all lost something that day
Grandma and Grandpa lost a son to young
Mom lost the one she loved so long ago
My sisters and I lost our only dad
I wanted you to wake
I wanted it all to be a joke
A bad dream
Then they lowered you in the ground
Everyone around seemed to be crouching
As the lowered you lower and lower
Its been seven years of you not being around
I have yet been to see
Were they put you in the ground
I have yet been able to step a foot on that ground
I guess what I am trying to say
Is I miss you daddy every day
