Saying Goodbye

Published by Family Friend Poems August 2008 with permission of the Author.

Daddy is in no shape
And there no time to wait
So I am not going to waste no time
So I am going to say what's on my mind
I am Daddy's girl and you are my world
You are my heart and soul and I have
a fear of letting go
Even though you leave this place
I will have you in my heart to stay
I know it will be hard to say goodbye
but we will see each other at the pearly gates

My dad was recently found dead in his flat of a suspected overdose. He was the strongest man I knew and had everything to live for. I had never had a row with my dad but I did a month before he died and said horrible things that I can never take back, how am I meant to deal with this? He was my best friend , my hero I loved him more than words can say. So if his death has taught me anything it would be always tell your loved ones how much they mean to you as you never know when they will taken from you.
