Losing you was tragic,
something I couldn't deal.
Pain in my heart,
there was no time to heal.

Depression was what came first,
tears from all the pain.
Sadness expressed through emotion,
my tears dropped down like rain.

In denial came next,
I tell myself this isn't real.
The truth is hard to accept,
I really just can't deal.

I miss you everyday,
your image appears in my head.
I think of you with a heavy heart,
every night before bed.

You were the best,
the closest I had to a dad.
You filled a void for me,
for the place my father never had.

My uncle was a great man,
he always provided me with the best.
Forever resided in my heart,
as my uncle now lays at rest.

Accepting is still hard,
but I know you're at peace.
The memories that I have,
are what get me by at least.
