Daddy's poem
October 3, 2012
minutes on the wall count up, early hours of the morning.
tears slide down my checks
You were taken away too soon.
Hugging you for protection, I was safe.
Tears slide down my check, memories
Your blue eyes
A smile filled with empty spaces were teeth once stood.
Late nights tied into smores with stars
lessons were taught by past mistakes.
I was tune in
Struggles tore you down
you grew
become stronger
Braver
The bravest.
A personal hero.
