My Dad is Dying
My Dad is dying, what can I do?
His voice so frantic, raspy and hoarse
What used to be caring, intelligent force
Daddy don't go, I need you around
Secure and accepting in love you abound
Don’t waste away slowly, wither and die
Please be strong and don't make us cry.
I know death happens. I don’t want it to.
Death has no honor to do such to you
Your cancer, disgusting, what it does to you now
Your fear and pain make me desperate somehow
I feel shame, fear, as you lose reality
I can't do for you 'cause I'm thinking of me
What would I do if I knew I would die?
Don’t be a fool, with death I can't deny
All I do is wait, in fear, and talk with you.
Dear Father, my Dad, what can I do?
