Daddy
Mother, brother, uncle, aunt
Cousin, brother, mother can't
With sighing, lying or denying
Nor can I,
In spite of crying,
Change the fact that Daddy's dying
Nothing that we can say
Can now help my father stay
The others should have gone before
But because I love him more
Because he is the one who's real
Life has seen fit to seal
His fate before his time
In spite of all the tears I cry
Soon my father has to die
