I watched as he died

I was only six years old
As i watched him die infront of me
I remember it was raining and very cold
I wondered how could this be

I sat on his lap
I started to cry
This was my pap
He was about to die

I was the last to hug him
I was the first one that cryed
Everyone loved him
I watched as he died

To this day
He's been with me forever
He will lead me they way
Threw my life forever

Author notes

I loved him very much and he means alot to me. The whole story is very sad to hear too.

    Thanks for entering

    A very sad write. It touches me deeply to think you had to bear this pain at such a tender age.

    Good luck - let the ink flow and your fingers dance
