Goodbye Daddy Poem by Craig Piercy
Goodbye Daddy
He closed his eyes and drifted away
I knew then all I could do was pray
Goodbye daddy goodbye
My daddy’s gone
I feel its wrong
Goodbye daddy goodbye
Sleep daddy sleep
As I lay next to him I began to weep
You taught me so much yet I’ve never seen you cry
Goodnight daddy goodnight
I see your soul begin to fly up into the sky
And tears flow down my cheeks as I breakdown and cry
Goodbye daddy goodbye
My daddy’s gone
I feel its all wrong
Goodbye daddy goodbye
So long daddy
I will make you proud
And look for you in the soft white clouds
For you will be there
It just seems so unfair
A tribute with a poignancy that one can relate..... May you always remember him thus and when you do let the memories wipe the tear drops from a misty eye.-Baru Gobira

It was so full of heart. So full of hurt and passion, I have to say it's one of my favourite poems, where do you get your inspiration?
