goodbye my heroA Poem by buckeyebrena daughter's final days with her dying fatheryour hands were always so strong I hold them now and stroke them softly as I tell you all that is within my heart all that I have wanted to tell you over these years that have passed I have missed you so much my hero, my daddy I love you so much I know you are still with me even though many think you are long gone I am your little girl I always will be your baby girl
I traversed far to be here broken and sore it doesn't matter I have my daddy at least for now I have my daddy I will not give you up yet I gave you up for too long for silly things I'll always regret
I turn on Gunsmoke and you remember those days back then before the others I see your eyes I see my daddy I see that sparkle I sob redemption my tears fall upon my daddy I have my daddy I can let go for my daddy
I fall asleep beside my daddy they wake me they tell me the time has come to say goodbye to my daddy inside I say NO NOT MY DADDY!!!!! I WILL NEVER SAY GOODBYE!!!!
I sit down beside my daddy I tell him it is a beautiful morning with lots of fresh snow just as he likes it Would he like to take a walk in the snow? He could do that now. He could do anything he wanted now. He could just let go but I will not say good bye to my daddy
I say Hello Papa And then I take a walk With my daddy In the fresh fallen snow Of that early December morn Shortly after four
And I walk with him now every morning, day and evening in my heart and soul daily so my babes and thier babes can know my Hero my daddy © 2012 buckeyebrenAuthor's Note
