We Miss You Daddy

You never said I’m leaving

You never said goodbye

You were gone before we knew it

And only God knows why

In life, I loved you dearly

In death, I love you still

In my heart, I had a place

That only you can fill,

It broke my heart to lose you

But you didn’t go alone

A part of me went with you

The day God called you home.
