A Dying Father,,

my fathers dying
i am so scared
waiting on him not to be there
watching him slowly fading away, 
wish i could hold him till he drifts away, 

slowly he goes into a sleep, 

my mothers waiting to take you to  the garden of eve,

so fail and week, and not now what's going on. 
my love for my father will always be strong,

scared to loose you and know your not around, 

will hate the day you go in the ground, 
who will come and and teach me wright from wrong, 
who will kiss me and say good night, 

no ones love will ever be so strong, 
as a children has for parents thats gone, 
in your arms you held me tight, 
when a was a child you kissed me goodnight, 

i pray the lord god is good to you, 
for all your love you gave out thats true, 
helping people when they were in need, 
showing there friendship was true in deed, 
helping people all through there pain, 
my dear father cant wait till we meet again, 

in my heart you will always be there, 
my mother is also beside me and saying don,t be scared, 
she will guid you to a brand new life, 
where my mothers waiting as she was your bride, 

gone forever but not from my heart, 
my love for my parents will never part, 
in my dreams your both standing there, 
listening to the questions and all my prayers, 
i am happy your not in pain, 
all my love to we meet again, 

good night my father and sleep so well, 
i know when you go its not to hell. 
as you were an angel with your sweet singing voice, 
gone forever but not through choice, 

i may cry as your not here, 
no one to hold me when am in fear, 
i pray i meet you on the other side, 
with my mother and a family that was just right, 
so farewell my father as i kiss your head, 
i dream of you as i lay in my bed, 
and in my heart, you will never be dead, 
love you forever as a child's love is true, 
o my father i will miss you
