Goodbye Daddy

Goodbye daddy

Dear daddy I hope you can hear this,
Part of me really hopes you can,
But part of me thinks that you can't,
And then I can't help but reminisce,

Reminiscing over the memories,
But then about all we will miss,
You'll never walk me down an aisle,
Instead I'll be toasting in your memory,

You won't ever see that white dress,
Or even wipe a tear from your face,
They'll never be a father daughter dance,
And at the end they'll be no caress,

You'll never meet any of my children
To see if they resemble me, and
Of course then they'd resemble you,
Will they be artsy, will I even have one,

I can't help but be angry you've left me,
I no you would never have done so
Without good cause or reason,
But I no if you can, you'll be near me.

You'll be right by my side now,
And I guess until we meet again,
If that's what occurs in the afterlife  
By then you'll be in the know how.

Until then my dearly departed
Dearest Daddy, I just pray
You are with me, if only in spirit
And that I've not been deserted.

If only you could have lived
a life for sempiternity or infinity,
Unfortunately it wasn't to be,
Your life seemed so short lived.

Hopefully it's just for now though
And I'll see you again one day,
Then we can dance For eternity,
Until then you'll remain my hero,

In a special pocket of my heart.
Even though I don't want to wish
For time to quickly pass me by,
I can't help the pining of my heart.

Just for now at least!
I guess this is so long,
Until we meet again,
Goodbye daddy rest in peace.
