Tragedy Seen Through a Childs Eyes

Looking back today  
I'll never forget the day  
Then just a child  
I really didn't understand  
The day my dad left  
Why was you took from us  
You wasn't here long  
Seemed if we just met  
I remember we were friends  
Not close but friends  
We didn't not have enough time to mend  
What happened on that day  
Changed my life forever  
Felt my world had stopped  
Time stood still  
I felt was longer than that day  
All I seen was hate  
Fueled by rage  
Didn't see then  
What I know better now  
Many wrong roads in life I took  
For years didn't care  
Felt of life as a game  
Tallying up points  
All the people I hurt  
So someone else could feel the hurt  
The hurt I felt  
I now accept my life  
The hand I was dealt  
Although I still don't understand  
I know longer feel I was cheated my dad  
We will meet again  
I'll see my dad again someday  
Next time he'll be able to stay  
 
In loving memory of dad
