Dad
Dad
We all knew the time would come, and we knew it was near
But we could not accept this and tried to look beyond the fear
The fear of losing you dad, someone so special and loved
But the time came and God took you to heaven above
You were so young dad, it was to soon to say goodbye
And all we can do dad, is just ask why
Why did you have to go dad, why couldn't you stay
Stay in our lives forever dad, to have you here each day
But we were all there dad, by your side until the end
Knowing soon enough all your pains God would mend
We were there dad, as you took your last breath
And faded away from the living and into death
Away from our lives, but never our hearts
For even in death, you will always be a part
For your family you have done so much
We feel we could never thank you enough
Everyone's hearts you have truly touched
And we will all miss you dad, forever, so very much
