The day you died, <br />I thought about death itself <br />and what it would be like, <br />to be there with you <br /> <br />Then I remembered <br />that I couldn't leave, <br />It would hurt my friends and family <br />and I couldn't do that to them <br /> <br />I love you so, <br />but not enough <br />to be giving up on everything <br />and give away my soul <br /> <br />I know you regret it <br />I hear your voice <br />you tell me to never forget you <br />that day I made a promise <br /> <br />even though I can't see you <br />I know you're here <br />watching over me <br />and making sure I'm safe, <br /> <br />For that I thank you. <br /> <br />((In loving memory of Michael Due-My dad-))<br /><br />Trysta Due<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/to-my-dad-3/
