POEM
Letter to PaPa
When I got the call tears streamed down my face.
But they didnt last long because I know you
were going to a happier place.
June 8, 2016 was the exact day,
that the angels came and took you far away.
PaPa I love you and time is gradually passing by,
only God knows when we will meet again,
but for now this is my goodbye.
Love,
CeCe
