I'm checking my vital signs,
Just to make sure I'm still alive.
I'm breathing, but no air fills my lungs.

Could this mean I'm dead, too?
Is it a panic attack?

We're two souls United forever,
Through  thick rain and  a beautiful sunrise,
I see your smiling face from far away,
Yet so close I can almost touch your cheek.

Where have you gone tonight?
Are you somewhere we've never been to?
Are you happy where you are?
What's life, and why was it cut short for you?

Dad, I miss you.
You believed in me,
even when I couldn't do it myself.
You brought me back to life.

Thanks to you,
I'm stronger than I've ever been.
I believe I'm the daughter you'd be proud of,
All because of you.

I held your hand as you fought for a breath,
I kissed you on your forehead,
Told you everything would be okay,
Even if that meant  I was  willing to let you go.

RIP daddy 💚🌾
