Daddy went to heaven
Gone… But where?
I can’t call you on your phone.
I can’t knock on your door in DR.
No matter how loud I scream
You can’t respond.
I wish I could of held your
hand as you took your
last agonizing breath.
You fought with your
heart and soul. You fought
for mom and to watch your
kids grow, but you lost. Your
heart gave up. We lost.
I will never get to know you,
like they did. How funny you
were? How nice you were?
How there was nothing that
could stop you from giving
our family what we needed
and wanted … Except this.
You wont be able to walk your
daughters down the aisle.
You wont see all of us
graduate from college. You
won’t be able to slow dance
with your daughters at their
sweet sixteen. You won’t see
us when life pushes us down.
Where are you, now?
I want to hug you and tell
you am sorry. I want to sit
down and have coffee and
cocoa together. I want to
laugh and smile, the way
you only made my sister
smile. We miss you like
crazy and I wish I could
take things back. I want
you to watch me grow
and direct me from my
rights and wrongs. Daddy
your in heaven and this is
what I wanted you to
Know!
