If only there were another tomorrow,
I'd plan it with you today.
My heart wouldn't be full of sorrow,
and you wouldn't have gone away.
I always thought I'd have you,
much longer than yesterday.
So many things we'd yet to do,
so much we needed to say...
Well, dad, we're two of a kind,
because you thought just as I...
that another tomorrow you'd find,
and there'd be time to say goodbye.
It seems we got it wrong,
but, dad I know you knew...
My love for you was strong,
and I know you loved me too.

This made me cry... In its simplicity, it said so very much. My friend loved his father, but they were never close as he would have liked sadly. Thank you so much for your entry & best wishes in the contest!
