Dad

If only we could have you back Dad, just for one more day To hold you in our arms once more before you went away To tell you how we love you how we know you loved us too How no man in this world will ever take the place of you Dad you were our anchor, our rock, our shining knight The man we all depend upon and love with all our might Always we will picture you sitting in your chair Coffee, paper, football...how we wish you were still there Whenever you were told another grandchild’s on the way The frown upon your face would speak the words you’d never say But when each newborn grandchild in your loving arms was placed The look of unconditional love was there upon your face Precious memories linger and tears will gently flow For the Granddad with the sweets...the Granddad who never said no Always there for each of us, you always made us smile And knowing we were happy seemed to make your life worthwhile You filled our lives with happiness, we filled your heart with pride But now we walk this unknown path without you by our side Those who never met you will feel they know you too For part of you will live in us in everything we do Forever we will miss your voice, your laugh, your smiling face Forever we will miss the Dad we never will replace It’s hard to let you go Dad for we never said goodbye Now you’re an Angel in God’s Heaven, high above the sky But 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”...
