Dawn until Dusk

He was always around to hold my hand
When no one else was there;
To lift me up when I thought all was lost
And gently stroke my hair.

To love me unconditionally
When I felt most alone;
But now no more, for his soft skin
Has turned to cold grey stone.

No more will he ever stroke my hair
Or hold me when I'm down,
Or make me feel as though the sun
Will shine through any frown.

And though he wont ever be there
In person, or in touch,
I know he will always love me
From dawn until dusk.
