Daddy: I did not know you well/except for the suits you wore they were always well tailored in the color blue would it be okay if I told you how much I miss you...? You always smelled of Black Jack gum I remember running up to you when you came home sometimes you smelled of *** n' I was barely four but I remember uttering the words, "gum-gum" Daddy, I loved you so much... why did you have to leave/why did we lose touch? I loved the letters you used to send when I left for college I thought my life would end... but you wrote humorous lines about long dog your wiener schnitzel pet... you always made up stories about some guy named "Chet" I'm so sorry I didn't get to say goodbye-- I wished and wished... the day I found out you had died... it was a bad joke/a terrible lie... I love you Daddy...if you can hear me up there I hope Tigger n' Lion's are fly'n everywhere just like the stories you told me every night... before you tucked me in bed with my baby bear... n' you brushed my hair... you always said, "Papa loves you... Tiger, you sleep tight... now you just go... n' let your dreams take flight"
