Thank You For Taking Care

Thank You for Taking Care Why so sad does she have to be? When she wants to be happy like me With much compassion, comfort and peace of mind Sad children like her many you may find. Then what she said to me did surprise There are many like myself who often dies Or each day lives will grow dim and dim Tomorrow I will die and be one of them. About many things to myself I have lied She was a ghost of my daughter who died Now waiting for me in heaven up there Of her God I thank you for taking care.

No. But my Priest did 20 years ago which he mentions in his sermons. We did lose our son Jamie and my dad died on active duty in the Navy when I was fifteen. Writing poetry has become my father figure. Jim Horn
