Dad's Leaving
13 January, 2004
Author: Margaret
My father was laying in the hospital bed,
he was in a coma, I could not bare to see him
he wouldn't say a word.
As I weep and cry, I say, Dad's Leaving.
I always wondered what it would be like
to have my father be there at my graduation,
or walk me down the isle on my wedding day.
I yell his name out loud and say Dont leave!
I cry and say Dad's Leaving,
He turns to me and says, your daddy's little girl
and I will never leave your heart.
I thought in my head after he died,
God never takes anyone away for no reason.
As I start to get older, I start to forget what he looks like,
and how he smelled, or even how he talked,
It's starting to fade away.
It gets harder and harder every Father's Day.
