At the end of so many days
But not enough
I would say
“You are the best part of my day
I love you very much.
I will always love you.
I am always on your side.”
Just so he knew
Sometimes he would just smile
Often he would say
“Love you Daddy.”
I wrote songs about him
From the time he was born
I’m still writing about him
Years after he died
An entire book about him
A few more lines about him
So his legacy is more than memories,
Flashbacks
And a room full of toys
It can’t be enough
It’s never enough
If you think I could stop
Then you never knew The Boy
