My Dad's Goodbye

No words that I have written will ever seem enough,

About a man we all knew a man that was tough,

A man that was stubborn but still had a heart of steel,

His loss to us all and a void that will never heal.

He was a very proud man which never admitted if he was ever wrong,

A man who fought right up to the end and tried to stay strong,

One that enjoyed the simple things in life like a smoke and a drink,

A man which sadly death snatched from us as sudden as a blink.

You see this guy was special to me he was my dad,

So you can understand why writing this makes me more sad,

The words I have wrote to him have been going on and on,

But I regret none of which I wrote till after he was gone.

I stand here on this day trying my hardest not to cry,

Because we all gather here to say our peace and say goodbye,

I wish my dad could be here right now and was able to stay,

If only for this so he could hear all the kind words people have to say.

I want to thank you all it means a lot that you all came,

But im sure you will agree life without will never be the same,

Now wipe them tears he wouldn’t want anyone to cry,

Lets celebrate his life instead well lets at least go try.
