I'm tired and ready.
It's that time in my life
To move on and move forward,
To forget my strife.

Pack up my stuff.
Get ready to go,
the only place that makes sense;
Mexico.

So fun, so sunny,
laid-back and carefree.
tequila shots and beer
lined in front of me.

exactly what I need
yet I still find it tough.
so much alochol
yet somehow sober enough.

Sober enough to remember
you're still in my mind
Pain, heartbreak and self-pity
I wish I  left behind.

I grab a drink and guzzle some more
the last thing to do
is stay sober enough
to be reminded of you.

It pains me to think
I miss you calling me pretty
despite what happened
it still seems a pity

A vacation no more and instead a waste
For I am in my perfect place
And I will never
get to see your face.

It all makes sense now
I'm sober and aware
shots or not,
I still figure it unfair

Mexico was my solid solution
but you had to mess up my perfect plan
im sober, staring at the sunset alone
and  have written your name in the sand.

Now I lay me down to sleep,
I pray my daddy my heart to keep.

Your child-like wonder,
?So happy care-free?
All started to make me see
?It’s not the money made,
the fancy things attained
?But the love within,
? and relationships remained.?

You daddy have taught me to ?simply live life
?To look past what’s wrong ?and forget the strife.?

Never are you afraid to cry
You’ll tell me “I love you baby “
until the day you die

No words, no rhymes, no poem will show,
The love and respect
you have caused to grow.

Daddy you have gone beyond your role
Without you there would be no me,
No mind, no body, no soul.

Your older now and not so well
they say it's returning cancer
supposedly only time will tell.

But now my child-like wonder
so happy and carefree
will soon start to make you see
radiation and chemo may wear you down
but I'm here to help with anything but a frown.

Rest if you must but Im here for you just as you were for me
I'll love you forever and your baby I will always be.
now that I lay you down to sleep
I pray my daddy my heart to keep.
