I got a call, I remember, I thought it was a stroke
I left that day, to the hospital, my heart broke
I arrived there to see you there lying still
I hoped it untrue, it was my only will
Then I was there, at your side hoping you might wake
“Oh god, wake up, please, for goodness sake”
Suddenly you sat up and you looked to me
“Who are you?” that feeling still sickens me
Then you laid back down, back into a sleep
We were shocked, we started to weep
Time passed by, agonizingly slow
Just waiting, waiting for time to go
I knew, what was coming, to me it was clear
Your heart, your soul, about to disappear
The final moments came, you left us for good
My father, I love you and I always would.
