Just today
For all to see
Dear God I pray
I hope he knows he meant so much more
To me.
I cry myself to sleep
When I awake I feel the pain
From way down deep
My heart is broken
My resolve so weak
What good is tomorrow
When I feel so meek.
Without my father

They put a stone on his grave
Just today
For all to see
Dear God I pray
I hope he knows he meant so much more
To me.
I cry myself to sleep
When I awake I feel the pain
From way down deep
My heart is broken
My resolve so weak
What good is tomorrow
When I feel so meek.
Without my father
Why the hell even bother

"Without my father

Because he would want you to.

I wholeheartedly can relate to this very emotive poem. I know these feelings all too well, unfortunately.

Keepa writin/'/ buddy. :)

Hang in there.

Sad, emotive write, but it is good to let it out and not let it defeat you.

The answer is in your title- just today.
