Tears Still Shed
An unseasonably warm autumn day
in the yard unsuspecting children play.
Left in loving care with words unsaid
unaware of tears she soon would shed.
Futures written, words hurled,
only eight, a girl of the world
hair of gold, no worry, no care.
not ready for what life would bear.
"Where's daddy?, He didn't say goodnight.
It's not like him, it just doesn't seem right.
Something is wrong, I need my daddy now.
Take me to him, take me to him right now."
Many tears fell that solemn eve
dear father, into the light did leave.
taken too soon, no chance to fight
child's nightmare, an uncles fright.
Fourteen years have passed and tears still fall
life seemed perfect, thought he had it all.
a wife, two kids, God as his right hand man
succumbing the fate of His master plan.
sad hearts still bleed for this sweet little niece.
goodbye my daddy, may you rest in peace
