Analysis of Why did you have to go?
I wish that I could hug you one last time.
To call you and tell you all that is going on in life.
Wishing that you were near,
Hugging me and wiping away my tear.
You were such a wonderful dad,
We all miss and love you more than just a tad.
Now you are an angel in the sky,
Forever in our hearts and all our lives.
I may not understand or rightly know,
But every now and then will ask "Why did you have to go?"

About this poem
My father passed away the day before my birthday last year. I have been dealing with his passing since then. I decided to honor him with my writing and to help heal. I would also like to dedicate this poem piece to my step mom Tina Brondel. I know she is still dealing with my dad being gone, and I also know that it has been rough on her.
