Nothing can bring tears to a man's eyes <br />Like the ones that fall when his child dies <br />If only he could have prevented it <br />Life's not worth living, if only he could quit <br /> <br />She brought such happiness into his life <br />Now that she's gone he's torn with strife <br />A child shouldn't be the first to die <br />Leaving a father crying and asking God why <br /> <br />In his eyes she could do no wrong <br />Her death left him alone and trying to be strong <br />She was his little girl, his source of pride <br />He misses her so much and he's empty inside <br /> <br />My daughter, my angel, death took you away <br />But in my heart and memories you live everyday <br />I know that someday we'll be together again <br />God please give me the strength to go on until then<br /><br />Harry J.
