Di Doyle

Three months have passed.
I'll never forget the day
Someone rang to tell me
That you'd gone away.

The hurt is the same,
Like an open wound.
There are days
I don't utter a sound.

Some days the pain is stronger.
It makes me sick and weak.
I can't stand this much longer.
I just sit here and weep.

I've shut my private door
And let no one in,
Locking myself in a box.
They try, but I won't give in.

You were like a rock,
Strong, faithful and true.
What worth has my life
Now that I don't have you?

I was your first born,
Daddy's little girl.
I took my own path
But was still part of your world.

I was not the best,
Guilty of neglect,
But you know, Daddy dearest,
I had so much respect.

I always loved you,
My dad, my star.
Now my pain is
To worship you from afar.

I love you now
As I did back then.
I just hope... one day
I will see you again.

I am so proud of you,
Brave and strong to the end.
Now when asked, "How are you?"
There is no need to pretend.

We all love and miss you so much; sleep well,
and take care of all who went before you.

Forever in my heart!

I love you Dad with all my heart
And hate that we should be apart
Our love is a bond that can't be broken
You may be gone but never forgotten

I remember the day you went away
The pain in my heart is every beat
But I know that eventually, one day
We will once again meet

The loss is something I can't describe
I'm really going to miss you
One day I'll be back by your side
So I can hug and kiss you

There are no words to tell you,
Just what I'm feeling inside
The shock, the hurt, the anger
One day, will gradually subside

Things will never again be the same
And though I'm hurting quite bad
I will smile whenever I hear your name
And be so proud to remember my Dad

Sleep well, darling Dad, forever in my heart and my thoughts
