Memories

I once knew a man
Who my love for was very true
I really cared for him a lot
There was nothing he could not do

He gave me the life
That I have always known
But what am I to do
Now that he is gone

Oh I fill the pain will never end
And my life is a total wreck
Sometimes I fill I should just end it all
By jumping off some deck

Sometimes I sit up late at night
Trying to cry myself to sleep
I knew I had to do something
But my feelings just ran to deep

The angels had took him up to God
There was nothing that I could do
I feel he is very happy now
And for him it's a dream come true

Then one day I’ll join him
In that machine in the sky
I knew then I had no reason to cry

Cause even though my dad is gone
And his face I can no longer see
There is no one in this world
Who can take away my memories.

Daddy's Little Girl

Every day I think of you
Wishing you will still here
To wrap those strong arms around me
Easing these falling tears.

You taught me when I was very young
To always believe in myself and try my best
Please know I've tried so hard
To fulfill your last request.

Daddy please don't worry
Your little girl is doing just fine
I know that you know that too
Cause your with me all the time.

I can always feel you close by
When I'm having a bad day
The lessons you taught me
Are always guiding my way.

I love & miss you so much
Since the day you left this world
But, in my heart i'll always be
Daddy's little girl.

After The Storm

Before the storm rays were bright
Amid the essence of my life
Passions surged as in a sea
Billowing tide was rife.

During the storm raindrops fell
Upon the center of my soul
Emotions thrashed like the wind
Desperately out of control.

After the storm sun does shine
Within the depths of my heart
Sentiments appear to soothe
Forecast is for a fresh start.

Fathers Day

I woke up with you on my mind,
Remembering your just shaved scent.
How good it felt when you hugged me,
How fast the moments in our lives were spent.

It's Father's Day and you're not here,
So I can't offer you a gift or a smile.
I can't talk to you just to hear your voice,
Or sit and visit with you for a while.

I can only remember the times we shared,
The things you taught me that get me through.
I can still be "daddy's little girl,"
When I close my eyes and think of you.

I wonder if I showed you enough love,
Or showed you how strong I am before you died.
I'm doing fine, dad, taking care of myself,
Teaching my own children about respect and pride.

It's Father's Day and you're not here,
Except in the corners of my heart and mind.
There you will live as long as I breath,
Living and laughing, leaving the world behind.
