Love For My Father

I sometimes sit and wonder, dad are you with me? and are you sad? I think of the time I had with him here on earth He was a this frail, little man who loved the Lord He certainly did all he could, he loved yellow for he stood out in a crowd My dad was a wonderful person and friend You just had to do for him, he was always so happy and never sad To have some help from time to time, he loved you to come see him He was a true man of God He went to church and gave all he had He never had extravagant things He loved the basics of having furniture and clothes When I gave him the rocking chair for Fathers Day in 2008, Little did I know he was getting ready to leave this earth I remember being so very happy to see, the smile on his face When I would come near The thing I am trying to express for all of us is to love your fathers and Give them your trust For you never know that this little man from God in yellow He may still be sitting in the church he loved. I remember always my father he was, the light of my life and now he is with the Lord above Love your fathers and let them know that you truly love them so.....
