Laying awake alone at night.
thinking about how this just is not right.
so much of your life you had left to live.
so many lessons and guidance you had to give.
the lord took you from us and its a pain i cant erase.
godfather know no one could ever take your place.
you were like a father to me.
you were just starting to become the man i know you could always be.
dan i will never forget you.
after everything you have taught me and all we have been through.
they say it gets easier with each passing day.
but the pain i feel seems like it will never go away.
the thought that you will never meet my wife.
the though that you will no longer be a part of my life.
is a pain that hurts deep in my chest.
i can't believe we had to put you to rest.
i know your watching over us from up above.
i met a girl that im starting to love.
i wish you could have met her she means so much to me.
but now your up in heaven god has set you free.
i hope you check down on me from time to time.
god taking you so young just feels like a crime.
but i wrote this poem so you know im thinking of you.
and up in heaven im praying that you can read it to.
