I am smart. I have heart.
And have you to thank.

But your chest. Laid you to rest.
And I have felt some hurt.

We miss you. Oh yes we do.
Life without you is hard.

Mom still cries. And so does Al.
And Gram, and John, and I.

But our time. Indeed sublime.
You were always treasured.

It was the doctor. That idiot doctor.
But do they ever learn?

You were too young. But song is sung.
And your story carries on.

You are dad. My one true dad.
You can never be replaced.

Just know. Oh please just know.
You live on with us forever.

It's not your fault. Don't feel bad.
It's not like you had made the choice.

I know. You wouldn't go.
You would stay with the family.

You are forgiven. Past your living.
Of everything you ever did.

I cry. Look to the sky.
I only hope that you are watching.

Thank you dad. When things are bad.
I need only imagine your embrace.

But I miss you. Oh yes I do.
Life without you is hard.
