Daddy's Girl

This one is for my dad

I always knew this day would come
When switched our roles would be
And now i take care of you
Instead of you taking care of me

But knowing hasn't prepared me
For the heartache that i feel
This thing that took you over
Your life it wants to steal

I am too young for this
And you too young to be so ill
But life has dealt us an unfair hand
So face this together we will

Still the thought of losing you kills me
I am not ready to let you go
I need you in my life to see
And show me things that I don't know

There is so much I want you to be  part of
Things I fear you never will
And even though we don't always get along
Daddy, I love you still.

Such a terrifying thought to lose one's father. We need real fathers in this world who are engaged and there as an example. I felt so moved by this poem and the tension in it could be felt. Great example of the fear of loss. Nice work.
