Happy 72nd Birthday Daddy!

On what would be your 72nd Birthday

11/26/1938 - 12/17/2006

Almost four years have passed
but I’ll never forget the day
When the doctor came to tell me
That you’d gone away

The hurt is the same
Like an open wound
There are days
I don’t utter a sound

You were like a rock
Strong, faithful and true
What worth has my life
Now I don’t have you

I was your first born
Daddy’s little girl
I took my own path
But was still part of your world

I was not the best
Guilty of neglect
But you know daddy dearest
I had so much respect

I always loved you
My dad, my star
Now my pain is
To worship you from afar

I love you now
As I did back then
I just hope... one day
I will see you again

I am so proud of you
Brave and strong to the end
Now when asked “how are you?”
There is no need to pretend

Happy 72nd Birthday Dad.

We all love and miss you so much, sleep well
and take care of all who went before you.

Forever in my heart,

 Cissy
