I Would Have Told You...

My heart is breaking for losing you,
For all of the joy you will not see,
A grandchild on the way, my wedding day,
But I know you didn't choose to leave me.

So many questions I never thought to ask,
They ring out in my mind now,
So full of life one moment, gone the next,
I'm still trying to understand how.

I hope you knew what you meant to me,
I know sometimes I made it tough to see,
Had I known then it was the end,
I would have told you I love you as Father and friend.

I know somewhere you're watching now,
I'll do my best Daddy to make you proud,
But don't be surprised when I shed a tear,
Because I will always mourn your loss Daddy Dear.
