Your Forever

Dad, when I entered this world, and your eyes were laid upon me, you vowed to never let me go and decorate the world I see. I felt the comfort of your arms, the gentleness of your touch, I never had any doubts that you loved me so very much. 
I was brought up to be a good man, one exactly like my wonderful dad, so dry your tears of sorrow and pray away the sad.

Dad, I now lay my eyes on you, although you can’t see my face, God said you did a great job on me, but just know I’m in a happier place.

The road I have taken to heaven was all part of god’s master plan, so I came to the end of the road, and I need you to understand.

A step to our final home in heaven is a journey we all will eventually see, so still miss me a little, love me a lot, but Daddy it is time to set me free.

I will never forget you, nor the memories we both treasured, cause You will always be my daddy and I will always be your forever.

Karen what an incredibly powerful, poignant, beautiful, touching emotional write…oh my! Any parent reading this will be touched with emotion. I cant remember the last time l read a poem that l struggled to read to the end like this one…it struck a major chord in me! I am so sorry for your loss and your friends loss and the sadness that must overwhelm you. What a beautiful gift you gave your friend! Debx
