A Moments Sadness
The moments sadness long and lasting
for you daughter's hand I asked your blessing
you made me smile,
your heart did beguile
you held your loving arms around me.
We took our vows with you beside us
and there we said our last good-bye,
then you slipped away
like the sun going down
but your warmth remains
heavy the silent sound.
Father spoke of you this morning,
your path in life he was adorning
all the love you gave
the children that you raised
the home that you made
sheltered and kept them safe.
The moments sadness long and lasting
as I linger on your passing
I will take her hand
hold her when she cries
we will build a home
and we will share your light.
