My heart is saddened and the pain is deep
I know you blame yourself as you weep
I know deep down from the bottom of my heart
That my Brother Jeff could no longer be a part
His pain and suffering he could not endure
You are not to blame Dad this I am sure
It was just 9 months ago that Jeff chose his fate
You could not have known what would happen on that date
My words are sparse my thoughts aren't clear
I know you wish that Jeff was still here
Things are rough the days are hard to bear
Remember this Dad I'll always be there
You have lost weight I can see the strain
All you have left is the memories that remain
You speak of Jeff both night and day
That's alright dad it's ok
Things at home has drastically changed
Life is now different you seem estranged
Mom is sick and not doing well
Since this has happened it feels like hell
One thing Dad I want you to know
I feel so bad my pain doesn't show
The pictures, the trips to the cemetery you make
I just don't know how much more you can take
But on this Father's day that is almost here
It's ok to cry dad go ahead and shed a tear
Tears of love is what you now cry
Still no answer why? Why? Why?
I remember all the father's day past
Bring back good memories and make them last
So dear Dad on this Father's Day
I just wish I could take your pain away
I would see a smile from ear to ear
Because I Love you and I am always here
