Dad's heavy arm around
My neck, lovingly
If Dad could only call my name
Once more, a humble plea
Behold my braveheart
In bereavement, Lord be with me
Even though he's with
You now, my heart's lonely
I've swift moments
Where I can breathe, quickly
Until I'm swung back
And forth again, thoughtlessly
Please do advise
On how to say good bye
In my favourite all-black wear
At my father's saddened affair.
