On a dreary day it dawned,
When the sky turned black,
You were gone in the silence of an April *****,
Their April fool was done,
The silly old man so lacking in humour,
Had caught the last boat home,
The morning creaked open with tears in it's eyes,
Not his or theirs,
The sky just cried in a river of a daddy's goodbye!

This is for my father, we never really got on.....
He was diagnosed with Alzheimer's about two weeks before he died.
He had a heart attack and died instantly....absolute relief I think....
He wasn't really a *****...he was just controlled by all around him **
All I can say now is Rest In Peace!
