For give me father I beg of you<\/p>\n
I left you there this is true<\/p>\n
The nursing home I come to visit but in that wheel chair is not my dad<\/p>\n
I look,I talk, I hold your hand, but with that blank stare you can’t remember the fun we had<\/p>\n
You were a jack of all trades, and the world’s best provider<\/p>\n
Now this disease has taken you away, no memories of anything I wish things looked brighter<\/p>\n
Dear dad I’m sorry for the wrongs I have done, it wasn’t your fault when I did those bad things<\/p>\n
My punishment is this watching you die, it tears me apart will it be today in my head that thought rings<\/p>\n
Dad you are the greatest man that I know, a role model, a hard worker these values you’ve taught me<\/p>\n
Well you need your rest and I must now go, but dad your the man I will always work harder to strive to be<\/p>\n
I cry once I leave and slowly fall apart<\/p>\n
I miss you and love you dad with all of my heart<\/p>\n
