Trying

Off in another world

Trying to say the right words

I swear, I'm trying to be strong

Hoping they won't see the hurt

Forced to breathe

To go on without him here

I fear, letting go

Is something I cannot do

My father, my rock, my hero

Here's to a life without you

Can someone please tell me how

You were taken away so easily

Didn't God know how much I need you?

Or what I'd give for you to be here, too?

Your memory straining the oxygen

The will left inside of this body

It isn't enough

Living with what I have left

Every hope, you were a part of

Now, what will my dream consist of tonight?

Of you still here

Reversing that tragic morning

A family, still in tact

Still with my precious daddy

We wouldn't be mourning your absense

Or simply trying to make it to the next day

Daddy

I wish I didnt have to miss you along the way
