The Far Right Corner of Heaven
Although you came into my life for a very short period of time
I felt as though a life time had nearly passed us by
Your caring, kind demeanor was clearly not a choice
Many saw it as a sign of weakness; I saw it as a sign of rejoice
You lived your life to the fullest, though many would disagree
You loved with all your heart, giving to all including me
Who were they to judge you and tell you how you’re “supposed to be”
A man so full of wisdom; a man so willing to agree
Avoiding confrontation was one of your mottos in this life
Being passive and forgiving, always giving in to winless fights
I’m so proud of you for not allowing them to change the man you were
Though the time spent alone without you is sadly fading into a blur
I know you’re watching over us and finally in a joyful place
But I can’t help miss my father who has left us without a trace
So many take for granted the wonderful people who enter their lives
I will embrace our memories forever; continuing to honor and to thrive
My loyalty will remain to you as will my heart and devotion as well
But not to those who choose to dishonor you with their thoughtless farewells
Wait patiently for me father in Heaven’s far right corner as we agreed
For the time will come for certain to be reunited as you promised to take the lead
