DAD
From the day I was born
i was your cheeks
you were my dad
and loved me through and through
for you were so brave
never letting me see your pain
you were dealt such a rough hand
but you were not to blame
you kept me going
through endless suffering
sitting there day after day
waiting for the angels to take you away
too young to die you were lifted up
for your pain was gone, and your spirits soared
the tears I cry are of pain and joy
yet selfishly wished for just one more day
there is not a day that goes by
in which I do not forget
for I was your cheeks
and you were my loveable dad
