Why Daddy, Why?

WHY DADDY WHY

What made you fear
So you couldn’t be here
Why daddy why daddy why

Brings tears to my face
‘cause there’s empty space
Why daddy why daddy why

What voice did you hear
So soft or so clear
Why daddy why daddy why

That made you be gone
Think you couldn’t go on
Why daddy why daddy why

What was the fright
Made you give up the fight
Why daddy why daddy why

No matter where I do go
I still miss you so
Why daddy why daddy why

You left us so young
Our story just begun
Why daddy why daddy why

We needed your love
Not in the ground or above
Why daddy why daddy why

Why didn’t you trust
That you’d always have us
Why daddy why daddy why

Did you have to quit trying
Leave all of us crying
Why daddy why daddy why

You own life you did end
And grief you did send
Why daddy why daddy why

Even after all of these years
It still brings me tears
Why daddy why daddy why

You could have seen my own child
So joyful and wild
Why daddy why daddy why

Why choose your own death
Force out your last breath
Why daddy why daddy why

No one could take your place
Seems a cowardly waste
Why daddy why daddy why

And to God I still pray
For one chance to say
“Why daddy why daddy why?”

I never knew my own father,

mother divorced him before I was 2 according to her. So I cannot say I know how you feel, but I know that when we lose loved one, we constantly blame him or her, or God, or the weather, or something else. Truth be known, when we lose a loved one we lose a part of our soul. I never knew my father, but my aunt Hazel was dear to me; she died of a brain aneurism, my cousin Ray meant a lot to me too, and he died from lung cancer like my mother did. My uncle Whitey, without whom I probably wouldn't be here today to leave this comment, died of cancer. Each time one of these loved ones passed away, I lost a piece of my soul.

I miss my mother a lot, and wish that she was still here so we could talk, laugh, go shopping together, and just be plain good old mother and daughter. I'm sure she would she would like that.

There are some points here that made me think this was a deliberate event and that he simply could not go on in life for whatever reason. If this is the case, I am so sorry that it happened. But I sincerely hope that you can forgive him, because he may not have known what else to do.
