The sound of the ringing is still in my ears
That cursed phone telling me he had died
Looking back that's all I can remember
Except holding my sister as she cried

The feeling I had was not of shock but acceptance
At the funeral I felt nothing at all
My only concern was keeping a brave face to the world
Standing as he would of, proud and tall

He helped me whenever I needed it
He always took the time to care
I think that's how I'll always define him
And I cherish all the times we shared

I think now I finally understand why he died
It was God's will that his time had come
I should be happy that his suffering is finished
But I keep wondering, why was he the one?

So I'll end this on a positive note
I'm sure he's looking on from above
I miss him but he's with me inside
So goodbye Dad, with all my love
