Analysis of A Poem to My Hero (My Dad)
Tabitha Saige Titsworth 1986 (Amersfoort)
My heart is in a million pieces
Shattering like a piece of glass
Don't know how I can put it back
Together
My Hero My Hero
I won't get to see you
You won't get to watch
Your grand kids grow
My Heart My Heart
Is completely broken
I am at a loss
Can't survive without you
I know I will see you again
My Hero
My Best Friend
My Heart
My Daddy
I love you through time and space
I love you through all of eternity
I love you Daddy
