Brightest Day

As violent things from vibrant dreams
Awaken me from deadened sleep
And drag me to my tired feet
Her dying breath against my cheek
I weep
And I pray that you’ll remember me
For the man that I tried to be
Not for the wrong I’ve done
As a broken man learns of a father’s love
My darling daughter
I assure you I had nothing to lose until the day I had you…
Rest your heavy head on mine
Look to the stars
And look at all we left behind
