Daddy's Going Home
Every time I pick up the phone I have a sence of fear
When I see him my heart swells with love, for he is so very dear
When I see him smile as he remembers, I breath a sigh of relief
As we watch his pain It brings a sence of saddness as hearts fill with grief
Every time we look into those bewildered forgetful eyes
As we repeat once again the answer to his question our heart cries
If we wish for him to be free of pain there is fear he will be taken away
Each time I look for the answer why Is this really our fathers way
We try hard to remember some day this will all end and joy will settle in
When once again he will be with Mother & his family and a new life will begin
Now it is so very hard to see him suffer as this life slowly comes to an end
Let us please remember it is to a better place just around the bend
So we all must focus on the good things he brought into our lives
Remember his stories, jokes, and love mabe it will soften our sad cries
