The Single red Rose

I was daddy's Little girl,
Always wanting to go everywhere with him.
He used to hold my hand as I twirled.

Every birthday and Christmas,
He would get me something Grand.
One year he even brought me a bucket full of beach sand.

Then that heart breaking day came.
My daddy got sick,
And had to stay in the hospital.
But I visited him every day.

It is the end of may
and tomorrow is the first day of June.
You are getting worse and worse but,
You say that you are fine.

It is my 16th Birthday.
I go to see you, but you aren't there. The doctor said my daddy passed away early that morning.

I'm in shock and start to break down.
I never got to say how much I loved him.
The nurse says he had one last request,
that was waiting in his room.

I walk in.
There is a picture of me and you on the bed.
It says "daddy's little girl, I will always be with you in your heart, happy Sweet 16, Love dad".
I start to cry even more.
I look up and find a single red rose resting on the pillows.

It's now the day of my daddy's funeral,
and it's my turn to say my last goodbye.
I say "I love you dad". and i leave on his grave
