I wish I had spent
More time with you while
You were living

I wish I had sent
You candy each day
With a card

When I'd let you down
You'd smile and you'd be
So forgiving

You'd still joke around
After a long day
You worked hard

Why is it we don't
Know just what we have
Til we lose it

Why is it we won't
Take the time to show love
When we should

The time that I had
I just didn't know
How to use it

I think you know, Dad
I'd make it all up
If I could
