Another birthday without you Daddy

They say misery is easier
to endure as time goes by,
But the doesn’t stop me
from deliberating why?

I was only twelve years old
When mum told me had you died.
I didn’t fully know what it meant.
I felt traumatized, but I still cried.

I didn’t know how immense a hole
your passing would leave.
I didn’t realize how much loneliness
I was about to sense.

Daddy I stopped celebrating my birthday anymore
It’s supposed to be a happy day. A celebration of my life
Daddy I loved you my whole life and life without you is really no life at all.
Today of all days I miss you more than I think I can even bear.

There are no remedies
To a difficulty like this,
So I’ll relish your memory,
And grieve the years we’ll miss.

Just one last chance, I wish I could get to hug you.
Then I would hold you tight. I don’t want to you let go. I miss you, daddy.
One day I hope we gather up again.
You will endure in my heart until then.
You left me with the gift of love.
Your star is always splendid for me from above.
