Our Protector In the Skies

A friend, an uncle, a pawpaw, a father, a husband, a son These are a few of the titles you've earned Precise, concern, loving, pride, hope, appreciation These are a few emotions from you we've learned You as a friend Irreplaceable position Your intentions so precise To have you back is what they are wishing You as an uncle A teacher and confidant You always showed concern To have you back is what they want You as a pawpaw Always appear to be so strong Always loving in your eyes For Logan & Lucas, having you is what they long You as a father A superhero, our eyes fill with stars Holding us with pride in your soul You'll always be in our hearts although you seem so far You as a husband Caused frustration but still showed love Leaving hope in her mind She loves you, always watch her from above You as a son Not much time was spent But appreciation you learned To be with her is where you went Now our eyes behold your pictures Our minds contain your smile Our memories hold your laughter You'll be with us every mile When harsh winds are blowing We will lend and eager ear In hopes to hear you speaking Hear your voice that we hold dear When it's dark and we feel frightened We can close our eyes And you'll be right there beside us Our protector in the skies In cherished and loving memory of my daddy: John L. Swinger May you rest in peace, until we meet again Love, Miranda M. Lambert Originally written on : 02/12/2011 at 10:21 am
