My First Year Without You

In loving memory of my Dad, who passed away on May 14, 2011.
 
As I sat beside your bedside,
One year ago today,
I was praying for a miracle,
That wouldn't come my way.
I played your favorite music,
And whispered in your ear.
I begged you not to leave me,
While fighting back the tears.
People told me you'd be going soon,
But I refused to hear.
"Please let them all be wrong", I cried,
As your time was drawing near.
Oh how could this be happening?
And what was I to do?
I couldn't even imagine
My existence, without you.
I didn't want you to worry,
Or see the sadness in my eyes.
Your "little girl" must let you go,
To your new home in the sky.
I awaken every morning,
To face another day,
My life has forever changed,
Since you were called away.
Although I'm here without you,
And we must be apart,
I'll never truly be alone,
You're always in my heart.
 
I miss you so much!
