Message to a Memory

Sometimes I dont understand, why I had all the time in the world. To go see you 
a while, for just a little while. 

Too caught up in our struggles, we didint see what was to come and the red 
behind the sunset. And now youre not here with me. Shouldve not, couldve not, 
wouldve not happened. 

Wish I know how to turn back the hands of time. Cause maybe then, youd be here 
by our side. Wish I had done just a little, wish that I could see you one more 
time. 

But I know god holds your soul... Your battle is finally won and he said well 
done. And I agree my faithful dad well done... 

Too many times in our lives, do we take things for granted. I dont understand it 
no... When its right in front of our eyes... Thinking they wovkf be here for all 
times.

 Wish I did more than I can even if it cost me my life. Maybe then youd he here 
by my side. Wish that I had done just a little more, wish that I could see you 
one more time. But I know that youre at peace in heaven beyond clouds. At peach 
with nothing to worry about... Just know that I miss you my dad and that I wish 
that you could meet my sunshine... RIP January 6, 1999

very touching piece! We all have these feelings when someone we love passes on, I should have done this, I should have done that, but in the end it wouldnt have mattered. All we can do is cherish the time we did have. Your dad is very proud of you. you are a wonderful writer!

Very sad, but touching. I can tell it comes from the heart. We really do take things for granted. I haven't lost anyone especially close but I'm always thinking about it - what if they would leave me tomorrow?
Also, I haven't been on here in a while, so I don't know if people still point out spelling issues, but...
didint to didn't
wovkf to would

This is a sad piece that makes you think about the really important things in life. To me family friends and love are the most important things here on earth. If we hold these things close and make them a priority other parts of our life will fall in place with God's help. Great tribute and a great piece to make one person think.
