Poem
He’d just turned forty, a happy single daddy He had sunshine days and his life on track His two girls and him, he love’s his lit’l family He would never even think of ever looking back Cuz’ his two girls were growing - way to fast His days were busy, when springtime came calling He farmed right on through the cold bitter rains And when the planting season finally ended He’d caught a cough he just couldn’t shake by then And that’s when he called me up My heart beat fast as I packed my bags and rushed to him It hit me hard how his face was pale and his body thin He smiled his smile at me and said - come on in He said - brother you’ve got to help me Cuz’soon my girls will be missing me I need you to hug and kiss them both for me Tell’em their daddy loves’em when they scrape their knees Wipe their tears and tuck them in Read them stories where the Prince always wins And when they bring home their first dates You make a mean face and you tell him straight To have them home not a minute too late You just tell him- I’m always watching From Heaven I laid my head there upon his chest My tears fell hard as he struggled for breath My shoulders shook and he squeezed my hand He said, I love you brother and you’re a good man And I know you’ll be the greatest daddy to them You just tell them – I ‘m always watching From Heaven I raised my head then, smiled and said I’ll hug them daily and tuck them in I’ll tell them stories where the Prince always wins They’ll know their daddy was strong and brave And I’ll have fun scaring all their dates I’ll teach them right and what is wrong I’ll dry their tears when they hear your song And when its hard and their missing you I’ll just tell them- You’ll always be watching From Heaven
