For My Daddy
Ever since that night, now so far removed
From my thoughts, that scare I remember
The details that would later rent me through
I have missed you
When I put on my make-up every morning,
I remember that you said
"Never forget that you don't need make-up
To be beautiful"
I remember how you taught me
To add hundreds tgether with out giving up
And how long I grinned when I finally got it.
Now I'm doing Calculus.
How many times did you tell me that
"Communication is the key"
and how many times has just talking
Saved me?
You said that if I walked ahead
Led the group up the trail,
That I'd always have time to sit
And just rest.
Do you know how many times I've lost your smile?
Or forgotten the way you tugged on my braid every morning?
Does the loss of me hurt you the way that
Loss has shattered me?
I wonder if you would still be proud
Though I've stumbled on the way
For making choices and finding me --
It's required sacrifice
I wish you could still walk me to school,
I don't want to sit and drive.
And I cry to think how many times you'll miss
Me walking 'cross the stage
That night when, me so young,
Cancer took you far
Without warning you were gone
And left on me a scar
But life goes on, and Oh!
How I've loved you.

Ah, this is beautiful. It almost brought me to tears. I love it.
