Dad

Once, there was a life and future with you

now there is not. 

Once, there was joy and hope and wonder with you

now there is not. 

Once, there were laughs and giggles and smiles with you

now there are none.

Once, I hoped of not disappointing you,

now I have not. 

Once, I never thought I would lose you

now I have. 

Once, I was a child

now I am not.
