No Letting Go

Oh father, 

I ponder about you everyday

I miss you so much 

the time we shared together was restricted

but that did not terminate my endearment

You were not a stranger to me 

Grandma made sure of that

You were my everything and you still are

Oh father,

when I heard of you passing away

a heavy burden fell upon my heart

I thought to myself

what's a girl to do without her father

Oh father,

I knew that day would come, but 

why so soon

we still had more memories to fulfill

Oh father,

though, you are no longer with me here on Earth

I still have  a huge place for you in my heart

Oh father,

I do not have one picture of the two of us together

I wish I did

But, hey I remember all the times we spent together, 

the drawings you made of me, 

Pooh Bear,

and I even remember our favorite song

"No Letting Go"

I'll never let go of you

You left a piece of you behind

Me,

look to my face and you shall see

I was only eleven when you went to heaven

I am now a young adult 

heading off to college

but it's all right

You live within me 

I love you daddy

Everything I do is for you
