I haven’t seen my daddy in seven years.
But I’m told that he’s not far.
He’s up above,
Living in the stars.

At times I feel him with me.
In a gust of wind.
Other times I feel alone.
Like the only person on earth.

Well deaths a fickle *****.
An unbearable itch.
Lives in your spine
Biding it’s time.
Devouring you from within.

And when the man in Black comes calling.
You never even know he’s there.
Just ask my daddy.
If you see him up there.

I never said goodbye.
I live with that regret.
An anchor in my heart
Keeps this ship from wreck.

And in the ashes that I spread
on your mothers grave.
A weight was lifted slightly.
I said a prayer and shed a tear.
I’ll see you soon I’m sure.
