Fear of Wedding Day

Wedding is three weeks away,
Happiest day of my life,
Can’t stop looking at the ring,
Can’t help but smile.

But then a new fear sets upon me,
One major person missing
Can’t have the perfect day without him,
Daddy…

I’m scared.
It’s two weeks away,
Daddy’s in the hospital,
I told myself I’d hold on, stay strong,
But I fear he’s fading fast.

I remember I would worry about this,
Even when I was 14,
I don’t want it to be true,
But suck it up, and hope it’ll be ok.

The day of the wedding,
Daddy’s not here yet,
And I’m getting more scared by the minute,
Fiance says “He’ll be ok”
I can only hope he’s right.

Don’t leave me now, please. Don’t leave me now.
