The Last Goodbye

A feeling of despair grips me
I fight back the tears
Trying to control the spin
You must be strong they say,
For him

I close my eyes, try to remember
I have to let go
His suffering was greater than my pain
If I could stop time
Hold on for just one more day
For me

The memories; they keep flooding in
He was my world, My hero
My life
Strong, even in the face of death
No, nothing will be as it was
Not now, for us


For Dad.
