The 12th Anniversary Of Dad's Death

The 12th Anniversary Of Dad's Death

A Poem by Randy Johnson
"

DEDICATED TO CHARLES F. JOHNSON (1947-2013) WHO DIED 12 YEARS AGO TONIGHT ON JULY 13, 2013

"
When Dad got Leukemia, he put up a fight.
He took chemo but lost his battle 12 years ago tonight.
After months of taking chemotherapy, he died.
He couldn't beat cancer even though he tried.
He died less than two hours before the fourteenth of July.
He was a good provider and that's something I can't deny.
When a person loses a parent, it's always sad.
Twelve years ago, I had to say goodbye to Dad.
