Contact Classie Berry 601-382-3695 I'll Forever Be Missing As I think of my past, all I see is you The man who taught me everything he knew, From tying my shoes to driving a car Now all I can see, is you from afar, Not in my life or even this Earth How to move on, when I loved you since birth, Life is so difficult now that you're gone You're all I can think of, from morning till dawn, One moment your alive, the next you're deceased Overwhelmed by emotions that fail to release, Devastation to me, was just a word to be read Regrettably now, it's what I feel in my head, You were always my hero and my very best friend Now I shall suffer, my heart cannot mend, Anger and rage are consuming my soul I fear for tomorrow, I'm losing control, I know I won't move on, living this way Anger only creates a much longer day, Time is the only remedy to heal Therefore, I must learn how to deal, Words of advice are what I inquire Unfortunately, you're the one I desire, You were always there, during the good and the bad You always spoke kindly even when mad, Always measured the world in comparison to you I'm honoured to say, you're the best man I knew, You worked so hard through all of your days Always helping others in your compassionate ways, If you still exist through your spirit or soul Please give us some strength and the hearts that you stole, Regrets keep stirring, anchored with grief Just wish our time wasn't so brief Ashamed and angry that I was distrait Neglected the warnings of your dying fate, Finally I realized, I am not to blame No one's at fault, it was your life, for you to claim, I promise to move on with my head held high The memories of you will help me get by, I'm devoted to honor you and the life that you planned By laughing and loving and lending a helping hand, It will not be easy to fill your shoes But I'll never give up, I simply refuse, I'll pray to God for your peace and your rest I do know now, he only calls home the absolute best, I will not say goodbye, but see you later, This world never lost anyone greater, So for now my beloved father, I'll eagerly wait For us to unite before the pearly gate. Rest in Peace My Amazing Daddy!
