Dad

Dad We all knew the time would come, and we knew it was near But we could not accept this and tried to look beyond the fear The fear of losing you dad, someone so special and loved But the time came and God took you to heaven above You were so young dad, it was to soon to say goodbye And all we can do dad, is just ask why Why did you have to go dad, why couldn't you stay Stay in our lives forever dad, to have you here each day But we were all there dad, by your side until the end Knowing soon enough all your pains God would mend We were there dad, as you took your last breath And faded away from the living and into death Away from our lives, but never our hearts For even in death, you will always be a part For your family you have done so much We feel we could never thank you enough Everyone's hearts you have truly touched And we will all miss you dad, forever, so very much

Mandie, I extend my deepest condolences to you and your family for your loss. I lost my mother also not that long ago. I have found that expressing myself through my writings have helped me a great deal. Look forward to reading more of your work.
