When I was born

You were always by my side

You were diagnosed with cancer

But nothing could get in your way

Then on my thirteenth birthday

I received the best thing of my life

You gave me fake flowers

And whispered “I will love you until the last one dies”

A couple of years later

You suffered a horrible attack

I couldn’t imagine my life without you

So I said it back

“I will always love you until the last one dies”

It’s the little things that matter

Dad, I love you to the moon and back
