A Daughters Poem

It seems like yesterday, that God took you away, To a far better place, some would say. Where living is easy, and always pain free, A place that we all hope to someday be. But here on earth, we all still miss, The warmth of your smile, a hug or a kiss. How you loved all animals, until the day you died, And your jokes were so funny, we laughed till we cried. You had a kind gentle nature, with a heart made of gold, I know when God made you, He broke the mold. You were the one we ran to, and could always confide, And get great advice, and feel better inside. We still miss you each day, our dear sweet Dad, Yes, we remember the good times, but still feel sad. We will see you again, and what joy it will be, Reuniting in heaven, with the whole family. -Mary Waldeck

Thank you Keith, and I'm sorry for your loss as well. It was three years ago this week that we lost our dad.
