Goodbye

by Sharlene   May 5, 2006


I saw your death inside my sleep
was afraid to tell the story
As I watched you fade away you told me not to worry
And as I watched my mama cry I could only do the same
Because on my heart as years flew by daddy became your name
I replay the times that we had spent the times we use to smile
The times I thought would never end would be here for a while
Not to worry is what you said but what do these words mean
you've only been dead for thirty minutes and years is what it seem
And right when I begin to care like many you up and leave
For God to send you back to us is all that I can plead
As these tears run down my cheeks I see my mama's face
For the second time in my whole life saw tears corrupt her place
And I hurt because you'll always be that man my daddy can't
Did things that he may dream to do but in this life he ain't
Step daughter is what you called me years ago removed the step
To walk me down the isle some day is what I use to rep
My cousins use to tease me because you my mama wanted
But I'll pay to hear the things they said the jokes that was so taunted
So I guess this is my goodbye letter so hard try not to cry
But I guess your in a better place tell grandpa I said hi
