Pupu is what I called you Peanut,
And Pu, and Puchi, and Puni too.
I sang to you, do you remember?
And talked to you all day.
You had my ear, my eyes,
My heart, and lap.
The emptiness is heartbreaking,
My life turned upside down.
And as I count,
Only 11 weeks have passed,
And the ache is there
Like yesterday...
I see your face,
Not a day goes by,
I carry you with me
And deep inside.
Did I tell you Pu
You came with me to L.A.?
You rode in the plane with me
And were next to my bed,
And your picture
Brought relief during that 7-hour test
And I kept it out as I wrote away.
I burned a candle each night.
One remains above you
In your place at home.
Did I tell you girl that
You own the mantle?
That you still own my heart
And my tears daily flow.
I miss you Pu girl,
Forever, Daddy
