One last time

One last time
I want to hear your voice
the words that taught me everything
should once more be spoken

one last time
I want to see into your eyes
the ones that watched me grow
become the person that I am

one last time
I want to hold your hands
the ones that caught me if i fell
that guided me through life

dad, one last time
I want to know that you love me
I want to say thank you
one last time before you die

this is for my dad, today doctors said he has cancer, they already did it four times. I have never known a person who survived 5 times cancer, but I hope I will, because if dad doesn't survive the fifth time, I don't know if I will.
