Robert Allison Poet Rhyme

Heavens Highway Dad Memorial

Heaven's Highway
(In Memory Of My Dad)
By Robert Austin Allison

Some folks think I'm joking,
Others say No Way, Come on!
Fifteen years from us,
Is how long you've been gone.

The hours turned into days,
The days turned into years.
It seems like only yesterday,
Your passing brought us to tears.

January 16th (2005) - we said goodbye,
The day God called you from on high.

"Welcome my Son, into Heaven."
At the young age of only fifty seven.

Construction work you did all your life,
You left behind two sons and a wife.

You could not stay for one more day,
God needed you on Heaven's Highway.

Beata Agustin March 22, 2026 at 7:01 AM Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
