Tell me a story
Of the times that have past
What is the history
Did you really come in last
Or have I forgotten the tales
You use to tell me when I'd return
All of this time my mind fails
To remember them well and I yearn
To hear you tell them once more
Instead of trying to ignore you
Actually retain as I absorb
Your humorous tales to do
What you use to do with me
With my babies you'll see
PopPop, Callie remembers
Perseus has stopped asking about you
What is it about December
That brings the tears not a clue
I lost another piece of you
My heart broke once more
I didn't want it to be true
While the water ran I was sore
From the pain in my chest
If you looked down
I'm sure you saw the rest
Daddy please don't frown
I'm trying my best
This year has been a test
Of many strengths
I can see who my friends are
Who would go to great lengths
Ones that would travel far
Just to make sure my family is good
I fear for mom everyday
I don't do the things for her that you could
With each step I take she turns away
Do you remember the duck?
How you'd help me when I was stuck
Your encouragement with my art
The happiness when I finished what I would start
In order for you to feel better
You had to leave us here
Amber wants me to write a letter
But I just can't, it's almost a fear
Daddy I think you would happy
Probably even joke with me
I finally found my person
The one who calms the storm within
Who brings a smile without reason
With them I'm sure to win
I wish you were here
You and I bumped heads a lot
But I was stubborn and didn't want to hear
The words of wisdom you taught
They are instilled in me now
Daddy I will make you proud
This is my show
And I'll go strong til my final bow
