Today

If I knew that you would die today

If these words would be our last,

I’d tell you what you mean to me

Before you went on your way.

If I knew that you would die today

I would lie down beside you,

And we’d talk of things that brought us joy

Before you went on your way.

If I knew that you would die today

I would hold you closely to me,

And feel your cheek upon my face

Before you went on your way.

If I knew that you would die today

There would be much to be said

I would say “I love you”, loud and strong

Before you went on your way.

Good night my sweet Beth. I'm such a mess without you.

All my love,

Pappy
