When you passed away, there was nothing
I could do! All I could feel, was helplessness
and cried my eyes out, over you! It happened,
so suddenly, even though I knew, you were on
borrowed time! But selfishly, I wanted you
around, just a little bit longer, so when it
happened, to me, it was a crime! For the first
time, we had some time together, without the
interference, of your late wife! She always
showed her annoyance to both of us and
caused us, a great deal of strife! When we
finally had time to ourselves, we both enjoyed,
not being on edge. For it was a terrible feeling
when she always managed, to put in a wedge!
Both of us, knew, what we were up against and
had to deal with it, in our own way. But we never,
let that come between us, for as father and
daughter, we had a special bond. And no one,
could ever, take that away!
