A Year Went By

A Year Went By
(For Daddy)

On July, the twenty eight I bought you flowers
It’s been a year since you’ve passed away
Four twigs clustered by white lilies
The fragrance is still strong today

And an aster with yellow flowers
Your favorite colour it represents
Maybe you even saw it
To you with millions of kisses sent

Though we rather miss you
You are often in our chats
How should he have handled this or reflected on that
On the deerhorn still hangs your brown hat

But God took the right decision
To take you away
The situation you were in
Was entirely hopeless that day

We will never forget you
Dearest grandpa, dad and Joop
In our hearts you live forever
That you must surely know
!
