Why did you have to go?

Why did you have to leave me, Daddy?
Why did you have to go?
I never got to say goodbye
I barely even said hello

I want you to know that I will always love you
And forever be your baby girl
I know that you are with me, just not here in the physical world
Sometimes I get discouraged and wonder what you'd say
Are you proud of what I'm doing and who I am today?

I remember you sometimes with a tear others with a smile
But don't you worry, Daddy, i will see you in a little while

Don't walk in front of me
I will not follow
Don't walk ahead of me
I shall not lead
Just stand beside me
And me my friend

Very relatable. I enjoyed reading your poem :)
