To My Dying Daughter, Gabrielle

Gabrielle,

One night the sun will set and I won't be alive to see it,

One night the sun will set and you won't be alive to see it.

One night the sun will set and no one will be alive to see it,

Yet the earth will sail around the sun and on and on and on,

Because ...

That's just how things are, and that's just how they'll be,

And it's wonderful that we lived and laughed and knew enough to see,

That on this earth and in this life we all were meant to be.

Love Your Dad.
