You only live once
Watching him sleep,
 I feel so distant.
 I held back my tears,
 I tried to resist it.
 His colorless face,
 Once happy and cheerful,
 Now breathes at a pace
 Much slower than normal.
 A monotone beep now fills the room,
 A feeling of emptiness,
 A feeling of gloom,
 Sweeps over me swiftly.
 My Daddy is gone,
 Depression has hit me.
 A lifeless body,
 There he lies,
 Kleenexes are damp,
 From patting our eyes.
 “Why God?” would you have to pick me?
 A casket awaits
 To carry my Daddy..
 It was such a loss at only eleven
 But I know now
 He’s happy in heaven.
 I learned a lot in those short two months,
 Don’t take loved ones for granted
 Because you only live once
