A year ago it happened.
That day, it broke my heart.No longer is there 'normal'
For that's been torn apart.
Feels like only yesterday
We laughed, joked, moaned.
Brewing tonnes of coffee,
Or when we spoke over the phone.
Still get that stabbing feeling
Through the centre of my chest,
When I realise you're gone.
Why do they always take the best?
I miss you every fraction
of each second, every day.
In everything I do, and
In every single way.
So lucky to have had you,
Proud you are my Dad.
Trying to keep smiling,
You wouldn't want me sad.
I'll raise a glass and drink to you
On this day, you did depart
I'll never walk alone, I know
You are forever in my heart.
