For Papa

I grab my box of tissues As tears roll from my eyes It would all feel better If I had said goobye I was coming to see you To be there before you passed away But I didn’t get here in time And there’s so much I wanted to say. I wanted to say I love you And thank you for all you’ve done Tell you how much you mean to me And reminisce about all the fun. You made us eat our veggies Drink our milk to make us strong Gave us that look of disappointment Put us in the corner when we were wrong. You showed us so much love Showed us what family was about Never let us go unwelcome And never let us pout. Papa you’re in everyone’s heart Your voice is in our ears We’ll keep you in our thoughts and prayers Be our angel & shield us from our fears In Loving Memory Of John Steven Rihner
