Two years ago, this very day, I watched you slip away
Into the clouds, upon a plane, your spirit couldn't stay.
You fought so hard to make it home, and I guess you probably did
Although the place was much too far from where we used to live.
I held your hand all through the night, my head upon your chest.
Your words grew short, your breathing slowed, the cancer didn't rest
It took you fast, so very fast, the world began to spin.
And that's the day, two years ago, my sorrows staggered in.
The tears, they flowed; the pain, intense; the heart, a broken mess
Like yesterday and days before, the memories won't rest.
I see your face, I feel your pain, I watched you slip away
Into the clouds, and you're still gone, two years ago this day.

R.I.P Dad

Big Hug
