Dad

Today marks one whole year that you've been gone

It finally set in today

I can't sing my song

I realize your gone and your not coming back

Nothing you've done in your life has ever lacked

You more than made up for your younger years

All that I can remember brings me happy tears

The way you laughed, the way you sang

All the times you gave me happy days...

Days of depression, self pity, and defeat

You were always there

With an anormous greet

You washed my clothes, you cleaned my room

You made me laugh you erased my gloom

I haven't been able to visit your grave cause I'm not ready yet

I feels like your in another country

but reality has finally set

I have accepted my life and kicked all bad habits

I know you would be proud as you look down upon me

which I know you do

I smelled your old shirt today and thought of you

I remember our first meal Church's chicken and strawberry soda

You were my best friend "Papa"

The kindest man that I ever knew

I guess that's why I don't know how to let go of you

I miss you so much and sometimes it hurts

But I know you made it

but your memories still lurk

Thanks for loving me like you did

I was a Daddy's girl ever since I was a kid

I miss your tacos and how you prepared things for me

I just can't seem to vacuum my carpet

You kept it so clean

You spoiled me and now I gotta clean up my own mess

But I'm learning how to gain control of my life

More peace and less stress

Thanks for singing to me and always having my back

You will never know how much it has had an impact

I am thankful for the relationship that we had

It feels good to know I had an awesome Dad!
