For Graham from Daddy

There's an ache

Won't go away

Ask it to leave

But it wants to stay

Keeps remindin'

What might have been

Sends me off

To rememberin' when

So, so small

But the ache is so wide

Trade my tomorrows

For another good-bye

I miss the tears

Want them again

A sign of life

Helps my broken heart mend

Wish I could bury

This ache in my heart

Takes me down

Rips me apart

Oh my son

Oh my Graham

A burst of light

In this universal plan

Feel your presence

See you every day

Your sister Reece

Makes it okay

For Graham, from Daddy
