An angel up there

by Michelle   Aug 8, 2005


Dad where did you go
why did you never say goodbye
you were supposed to go to the hospital for surgery
you weren't supposed to die

Dad you are not here anymore
to wipe away my tears
it feels like you have been gone forever
but really its been 2 1/2 years

I miss driving to softball games with you
i miss playing catch in the front yard
i miss our before the game talks
when you would tell me to play hard

Dad tears are falling now
and your not here to wipe them away
Dad your not here to lift me up
and tell me its OK

I wish you never would have left
because now i miss you so
and for those of you who think i am weak
I don't think you know

He was not only my dad
but a good friend of mine
I trusted him with all my secrets
and we were together all the time

~DAD~

Now you can't walk me down the isle
you can't approve of the one i love
Now we can't dance that father/daughter dance
that you had always dreamed of

Dad I am getting weaker now
I can't see you before my eyes
I refuse to believe you are gone
but the truth never lies

Dad I know I'll see you again someday
its just a matter of if I can wait that long
but i guess i don't have a choice
I have to stay strong

If you were here now Dad
I think you would be proud of me
I give all my effort every commitment
Its just too bad you couldn't see

I love you Dad with all my heart
and i will forever i swear
you didn't deserve to die it shouldn't have been you
but i know life's not fair

Dad your my angel from above
and I'll see you again somehow/somewhere
but I guess i should consider myself lucky
because i have an angel up there.

    Hey Michelle, having lost my sister in a car accident and my best friend from suicide, I know how hard it is. You are a great writer and an even greater person. I respect people with your sense of kindness. Your father would be very proud of you. Keep up the good work and keep in touch. With much love and respect, Braxton

    Beautiful... i thought about giving this to my dad as my family thinks he has an alcohol problem. just to show him how i'd feel if he died. i know it doesnt mean much coming from a stranger but i'm sorry for your dad. hopefully this is only making you a stronger person. he would have wanted you to benefit from this in any way you could and i'm sure he'd be proud of you by staying strong and not just using it as an excuse for depression. you've inspired me to try to be happier and i thank you for that. very much.
    much love,
