Twenty Years Ago I Had To Say Goodbye

Twenty years ago I had to say goodbye Written By Dean Masciarelli September 8, 2010 (11:28am) Twenty years ago I had to say goodbye Because you had earned your wings that day so that you could soar and fly And I cried just like a little baby when the good Lord took you away And I still cry every now and then to this day But when ever I see a beautiful butterfly flying by or a colorful rainbow in the sky That’s when I get this feeling that your spirit is as close as it can possibly be just to remind me that you are not that far away

aww a beautiful beautiful poem for your dad , our fathers are in a beautiful peaceful place, they always alive in our hearts, and it's great knowing they watching over us, they are free from all pain and suffering and they are free like the butterflies you speak of, I thank the Lord that when he returns we will see our loved ones again so awsome that will be a big reunion in heaven. thanks for your kind words it means a lot, God bless from diane.
