A little something..
Well, my dad passed away at 3am on July 3rd. It wasn't a surprise, he had been ill for a long time, and was in the hospital for six weeks when he died. I got to talk to him at the end, and told him I love him, so I am dealing ok with it, especially with help from my friends. But Wednesday night I wrote him a poem, which I might try to turn into a song, if I can get my musician friends to help me...
Traveling round the globe, taking in the sights
Never staying still for very long
You showed me other cultures, other lifestyles, other worlds
And how to see a sunrise in a song
(Chorus?)
So many years wasted, so many years gone
So much time we spent apart
But I know that you love me, and you know that I love you
We live inside each other’s heart
I always was your princess, your special little girl
And in my eyes you were a mighty knight
Off to fight the dragons and to make my small world safe
Then come back home to me again at night
(Chorus)
But the big world it was changing, and it took you from our home
Then put you down on less than friendly ground
And when you came back to me you were nevermore the same
I learned to cringe at every little sound
(Chorus)
From there we grew more distant, through no fault of our own
And soon we barely spoke at all
And tho I know you love me, and you know I love you,
Our conversations always seemed to stall
(Chorus)
Yet still you are my daddy, and I’m your little girl
And nothing in the world can make that change
So though I cannot see you, I know you hear my thoughts
But knowing you are gone is still so strange
(Chorus)
I guess that's it for now. Been keeping busy and enjoying life, hope everyone else is too!
