Daddy, You never said you were leaving, you never said goodbye, You were gone before I knew it and only God knows why. A million times I’ve needed you, a million times I’ve cried, If love alone could have saved you, you never would have died. In life I loved you so very dearly, in death I love you still, In my heart you hold a place, no one could ever fill. It broke my heart to lose you, but you did not go alone, For part of me went with you, the day God took you home.

Your heart broken daughter, Rebecca.
