Fourteen Years

Fourteen years ago you went away,
How I wish we could change that day

Your tragic death
left me bereft

The years pass by
I still ask why

you fell asleep in that bed of snow
leaving me with such intense sorrow

I know that you are now at peace
all pain and sadness ended with your decease

my only hope is that I've made you proud
I love you daddy and I say it aloud

The look in the photo says it all
you love me much, we had a ball

A lot has changed in these 14 years
so much laughter and some tears

The kids have grown
but I'm not alone

I'm surrounded by love
such gifts from above

So grateful for the time we had
from time to time I may grow sad
You will always be my only dad
