You were here
Even before
I can remember
You encouraged me
Throughout my life
From then till now
Then as the years
Passed me by
I was surprised
To hear from
Someone so close
Yet so far
Of how you
Passed away
On some sunny day
I cried that day
Then since I tried
To hold the tears in
Knew you wouldn’t
Want me to cry
So I tried
All for you I tried
But this time
I have failed you
Without a doubt
I know I have
As I feel
These tears fall
