Why Daddy?

Why Daddy?
Why did you leave me?
Why won't you be there
To walk me down the aisle?
Why won't you be there
To see me bear a child?
Where did you have to go
And why did you have to leave?
Why did God take you
And leave me alone?
I see you everywhere
In the snow
In the river
In the sunlight
But I can't hear you anymore---
Why Daddy
Did you have to die?
What purpose did it serve?
I know you're out of pain
But mine seems
More than I can bear---
Why Daddy?
Why can't I tell you
I love you
One more time
And hear you say it back?
Why only 23 years
Why not one more?
Why is all I feel left with
Is the pain...
