I’ve had this saved for some time now. Realised from the moment I thought it that one day I would use it. My family, especially my parents, have the right to know why I decided to do the unthinkable. They have no idea I’ve been researching it for months. Devious really. This is a material world and I want out.
To My dear loving family
Forgive him all for what he’s done
A departed soul he has become
His pain and suffering so much so
He had no choice but to go
Young, loving and so very proud
But in the end was beaten by deaths dark shroud
He tried so hard to see things straight
But time gave up it was too late
Although so selfish and his life was brief
His family separated yet united in grief
How sorry he is for what he did
How long for these angry feelings to rid?
A brother and sister eternally torn
Mother and father will forever now mourn
Nieces and nephew wondering why
Why did uncle have to die?
Where he is now he cannot say
Until last breath you’re dying day
Some place some time so far away
The heavens open and you pray
Why did he leave on this sad day?
He cannot answer he cannot say
Sat at his computer every night
Wondering if things would ever be right
A lack of friends, a lack of love
He seeked the answers from above
But they never came and so he waited
Filled with anger and so much hatred
His achievements were great his ambitions more so
But in the end he had to go
Filled with sadness and filled with fear
He’s punished the ones that held him dear
With no more strength and no more hope
Life became too much to cope
Pastures new he shall embark
Through love and laughter he left his mark
God will forgive and understand
He reaches out with a caring hand
Come then my son you are now with me
This is how it was supposed to be
I am so sorry please forgive
Please forgive me for what I did
All my love forever and ever
Dan xxxx
