In loving memory of my father Gary Kuepfer who went to heaven February 26th 1999 after suffering from brain tumors.
Is it wrong I never really cried?
When they reminded me you had died
Was it cold of me to wish instead?
To never think of you as ever dead
Could they ever really be aware?
Of the love that you and I still share
When holding you inside my heart
that … Keeps us close not torn apart
Will they ever stop and take a look
And realize that the tears it took
Could never bring back all the years
Could not take away any of the fears
I don’t want to cry because of grief
I want to sing out loud only for belief
Oh Holy night, the day of Starlights birth
I’ll love you forever still while, i’m on this earth
I know Dad they may never stop to see
You’re living still here inside of me
And they’ll gather together to say a prayer
Then curse God later when you’re not there
It’s been ten years since the day you died
But it’s my first day that I never cried.

I love you Daddy
