Uncle john

Here he sleeps
forever resting in peace
i was his little princess
i was his favorite niece

but now he's gone
and he not coming back
left me alone
for me to take the slack

john i love you
and I'll never forget
how much fun we had
and yet it still makes me upset

your not a phone call away
or a few hours in the car
but i still feel close
when i look up and see the stars

i know you look down and
your always watching over me
and sometimes it hurts to think
that you might not like what you see

so I'll try to be better
I'll try to be good
I'll be your little princess again
like i promised i always would

i love you uncle john
and no one can take that away
memories of you in my heart
and there they will always stay

i don't have any pictures
but the ones in my head
but your face is starting fade
and it becomes someone else instead

but I'll try my hardest
so you don't forever go away
keep you with me and
with me you will always stay
