Hero in my eyes

When I was young, you held me close.
I loved you so, no matter what the cost.
Now that you are gone I am so very lost.

You my hero, left me all alone.
I cry at night with blood in my eyes.
How did I think you would never die?

I tell the children stories of you.
They listen as I talk with eyes so wide.
They could tell I was dying inside.

What will I do without you, my father?
The pain never stops so I pray to above.
I love you daddy.

Your Daughter, With love.
