You're happy in photos
I remember that smile
A flash of passion
Lives of sorrow
I miss you now
I'll miss you tomorrow
So loving and gentle
Every animal and bird
Bright interest all -
"what's that Dad?"
Its just tears now
I miss you really bad
I do not understand it
why did you go away?
I told you that I loved you
Each and every day
I prayed and prayed
and prayed and prayed
God keep you safe,
and well, and... unafraid
Life and home and work and play
Revolved all around you
Thinking of your various needs
and what we had to do.
You didn't know that did you?
Opportunities we let go
you were more important
we always just said no.
There seems no point to anything
But your sister and your brother
Desperately need my love
To say nothing of your mother
If they weren't there I'd want to come
to join you where you are
joy is absent and I want you so
for this life...now...forever... I simply have no care
