As im standing here on graduation day,
I think back on all the times
we've had.
All the memories that we've
shared,
and how i was so proud to have
you as my dad.
As i skim the rows and rows of
people,
i know you won't be there.
You've been dead for seven
years,
but still, i wish you could be
here.
You'd be so proud of me,
for graduating school.
Something you didnt get to
finish,
because you thought you were
too cool.
My life has changed
dramatically,
since you have been gone.
Theres some things i want to do,
and some things i wish i hadn't
done.
Out of all the years in school,
theres not much that I've
learned.
Except from books in the library,
from there my knowledge was
earned.
It's easy to read a book,
and put yourself inside it.
But when it comes to reality,
your life deteriorates bit by bit.
Theres some things i wanted to
tell you,
before i received my diploma.
But i guess it has to wait,
until I smell Heavens sweet
aroma.
The things i said before you
died,
i want you to know that they
aren't true.
I dont hate you and i didnt want
you dead.
I was just mad and upset at you.
Its taken me awhile to forgive
myself,
and sometimes i still blame me.
I may have grown up some but
im still your little girl.
I just wish that you were here so
that you could see.
As i stand here today,
looking at all the faces
theres only one i really want to
see.
And its in heaven, of all places.
Here on graduation day,
thinking of all the times we've
had,
not a day goes by that i dont
miss you,
and i just want to say, that i love
you dad.
