MY DAD

By rondant

December seventh is the day
that my dad passed away
He liked to gamble, hunt, and fish
These are a few things that i will miss
He had cancer, don't you see
That it could happen to you or me
Not as close as i would of liked to be
But I loved him very much you see.


Me and my dad was never close,
and there are so many things I wished I said.
I got to spend the last couple of days with him
before he passed. He hugged me for the first time
ever, and told me that he loved me. At that very moment
I was at peace with my dad, and all my hatred vanished.
I guess what i'm trying to say is Don't take people forgranted,
sometimes they leave so fast you don't get to say goodbye.
There were so many things I should of said, but I didn't.
So, don't hold it in.
