Its been a few years
and ive been doing okay
because i knew you were always here
todays the first day i didnt feel your prescence
and its the first of many im sure i will cry
cry so many tears
becasue a man i once loved
his prescence isnt here today
i know he loves me
and wants to be with me
but god said it was his time to go
and heavens too far to go for a day
to far to make a trip with the kids
but not too far for his hand to be on my soul
touching everyday
to make sure i will be okay
days like this bring tears
but i will be with him one day
i love my papa
and boy do i know
how he loved me so
i know one day ill sit with him again
and look down the stairs at my own lil kids
he taught me to be brave
and never seek the past
that life is to short not to live it fast
he left me a legacy
one of honor and good will
it aches not to have him here
but do i ever know hes near
never to far to make me smile
but not close enough to dry my tears
i didnt feel his prescense so i cried today
but all i gotta do is look at the sky.
and know hes there
he told me love ever after
that a papas love is a love forever
i know one day we'll play again
but until that day ill stand frayed
and miss his prescense
and wonder alone
what would have happened
if he were here today
i knew the love of a papa
as so many kids do not
and i know it seems selfish
to cry so many tears
but i do care not
cause that man was my life
he was my heart and soul.
and one day soon
he'll touch my soul again
I LOVE YOU POPPY
till the end
