You took your life
           just as mine was beginning
You had to have known 
          the impact you would have on my life
              until I would take my last breath
Just to know you
    What you were like as a person
            things you enjoyed
            things you held dear to your heart
Just to know  you
       The things you could have taught me 
         and the things I would have learned
         To have the memories I so deserve 
               Memories that most treasure 
           Memories some take for granted
                      The memories alone
                would have made an impact 
                     Filled a whole of sorts
Just to know  you
     Not only would it have
            answered many questions 
     But it would have made an impact
            on the answers to many other questions
     An example of how things should be 
             How others should love me
             How I should love others
          A deep depriving of the soul 
    Just to know  you
               of the love that a father had to share
                                                        ~Tracy
