The following poem was sent by Todd to his daughter, Izabella in December 2018. He said he wrote it for his children.
There are certain things
I keep within my soul
I fathom all it's beauty, still I know
What it will show
But life just seems to leave me cold
The sun will rise but not shine on my face
I search for love within this world but cannot find a trace
My heart is hurt
My mind is broke
If you still love me Just say so
The road is long
The valleys bare
I just need to know
That you do still care
I search for love within this world
I search for stories that are still left untold
I search for things that aren't in sight
A smile, a glow, that says that it's alright
So I found the valley bare
And I choose to reside there
Where love is known as wealth
And I can seek my highest self
The road is long, you shouldn't dare
It's a weight no one should ever have to bear
Walk your path with your head held up high
No one in this world wants to see you die
There are certain things I keep within my soul
I fathom all it's beauty
But life just seems to leave me cold
The sun will rise but not shine on my face
I search for love within this world but cannot find a trace
The truth is that I really cared
About what the valley could have shared
But I leave it all just for you
That's the least thing I could ever do
