September 17

Everything seemed okay
The first couple of days
Then we slowly saw him deteriorate
The color in his skin
Turning whiter and whiter
No more spirit within
Then one night
They decided to let him go
The machines were shut off
And his breathing slowly stopped
Tears came pouring out
How could we live without
He was such a big man
Now he looked so small
Suddenly became short
But was once so tall
Alcohol got the best of him
It really did
He was our Daddy
Uncle, Brother, part of our kin
He left this world September 17
Since then life's been like a dream
So, no matter how much we laugh
No matter how much we smile
And how many times the memories are reminisced
You will always be missed.

Rest In Peace Daddio.
We <3 You.
