I hear there's still such a thing
As a happy holiday
Families gather 'round the table
Food stretches as far as the eye can see
Happy laughter drifts through every home
But that cannot be
There has been no evidence of a happy holiday
Since the firefighters took him away from me
They took all I ever needed
My laughter on the saddest days
A warm bear hug when the world stopped caring
Every year my heart would dance
In anticipation of thanksgiving
I knew that ugly old station wagon would rumble down the road
Out he would step and with a tiny wave
My holiday was complete
Dinnertime arrived we'd laugh and reflect on days gone by
His cheesy jokes tickled my heart
Endless pictures were taken
As my cousins and I played
Nothing could make the day more perfect
I hear there's such thing
As a happy holiday
But there's been no sign of that
Since the firefighters took him away

That is both deep and touching
