Dad
We were not there to say goodbye,
Or there to hold your hand.
We did not know your time had come,
Or even understand.
Why god took you from us that day,
We guess he had his reasons.
For life we know is like a year,
Made up of all the seasons.
Now that you’re gone we have to say,
The memories we’ll treasure.
Are happy and are plentiful,
And this we cannot measure.
So dad this is our sad farewell,
We miss you so so dearly.
Good night god bless you were the best,
No one came close, not nearly.
