Souls floated in thin air,
You only been gone a short time.
How could you leave me?
I was not ready for you to go
Why couldn’t you stay?
Why did you have to go to your parents?
You had a wife, and children
Here to make you happy.
Why did you give up?
You taught me not to give in
But you, did
I am angry
because I did not have enough time
to know you
I still think of you
I still love you
I am sure more tears will fall like rain
I know in time the pain will easy
So my father my hero
Go home,
you earned your wings,
and maybe someday
I will join you
but fair now I will stay here and
raise my boys
to make you proud of me.
