~^Daddy^~

I miss you Daddy

oh so much,

miss your smile, your laugh,

your touch.

You left me so long ago,

time has went by so slow...

Not a day goes by

that I dont think of you,

and all the things,

we never got to do...

I was just a little girl,

when you died...

But I remember how

I cried and cried...

Calling out

to God each night...

How could you  

let my daddy die?...

Now that I'm older,

the pain is still there

Now, not as vivid,

it's easier to bear...

The question still haunts me today...

Why did God take you away?

After 20 years still no answer...

All I know is you had cancer...

But Daddy,

you are missed very much...

Because the life of your daughter

you deeply touched.

Often in mind, forever in heart,

you may be gone from this world,

but we'll never be apart...
