My Father

I miss you dad every single day The wonderful Times I remember Are the times we spent together going To dinner and church The times I will cherish always on this earth Your gentle ways and smiles and hugs Made Life worthwhile for this is true Forever you are missed in my heart and soul But the forever is Heaven and you are there basking In the Light of the Lord I miss you dad and loved you so much But eternity is yours to no longer hurt Cancer is what took you far too soon I am always remembering your hugs and I loved you so much too. Eternity is there for you now and forever Remember I love you and Kisses from here to you in the forever they call Heaven from earth

This is a beautiful tribute to your father, and it's very well written. I lost my own father in 2009 and I miss him greatly.
