We laid him down

We laid him down

We laid him down.
He, who could not be slain, was gone.
Hard to watch the earth
fall and cover him forever,
the eyes of those who loved him
heavy with the weight of woe.
I think back to the young man I first knew,
thoughts that play in my mind
forming into a sense of immense love.
That no matter what,
nothing could touch me
as his arms were around me.
That feeling never left me,
allowed me to find my place
in this crazy world.
So bye Daddy. You are the rock
upon which I will always stand.
