My Dad died yesterday

My Dad died yesterday
It’s all I want to say
My Dad died yesterday
To the taxi driver
To the ticket collector
To strangers on the train
My Dad died yesterday
I want to keep saying it
Not for sympathy, just to tell everyone
He lived and yesterday died
And he was a good man
He was quiet and thoughtful
Stubborn for sure
Honest and loyal
He Adored my mum
And Yesterday he died
But he lived
And will continue to
In me
