Dad

There is no explanation
No reason we can find
No answers to our questions 
Why you left this world behind
The tears we cry keep falling
Our broken hearts won’t mend
Not only did we lose our dad
But also our best friend 
You were there for each of us
Always by our side
You filled our lives with happiness
We filled your heart with pride
You always saw the best in us
You always made us smile
And knowing we were happy
Seemed to make your life worthwhile
It’s hard to let you go dad
For we never said goodbye
Now you’re an Angel in God’s Heaven
High up in the sky
Forever we will miss your kiss
Your laugh, your smiling face
Forever we will miss the dad
We never will replace
Even those you never met 
Will feel they know you too
For part of you will live in us
In everything we do
And sometimes when we’re all alone
And feel all hope is gone
I know we’ll hear you whisper
"Kids just smile...and carry on”


Written for my friend Warren
from his loving children, Jade Jack and Shannon..
