"October Rain"
 
An October rain
Follows me now
Bringing forth tears
Like a shower.
I wish i could
Let go the pain.
But it returns strong,
Again and again.
I fear the truth
It keeps me here
A memory of the past
Both loving and sincere.
 
For you see a day
Months ago
I had a dream,
My dad was going home.
It wasn't a state,
Or state of mind.
It was his passing
It was his time.
But now today
It lingers still
Could i have changed
God's given will?
 
If ever a time
That i wish i could
It was then
Where my father stood.
He came to me
With my mothers help.
He told me he was leaving
I woke up and yelled.
That was the last
I saw my father.
He is with my mom
They've never looked happier.
