Heavens Highway Dad Memorial

Heaven's Highway
(In Memory Of My Dad)
By Robert Austin Allison

Some folks think I'm joking,
Others say No Way, Come on!
Fifteen years from us,
Is how long you've been gone.

The hours turned into days,
The days turned into years.
It seems like only yesterday,
Your passing brought us to tears.

January 16th (2005) - we said goodbye,
The day God called you from on high.

"Welcome my Son, into Heaven."
At the young age of only fifty seven.

Construction work you did all your life,
You left behind two sons and a wife.

You could not stay for one more day,
God needed you on Heaven's Highway.

Created July 8, 2020

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.

So sorry for your loss ... how they years fly by Robert. lost my mum last year and i still can't get over it - mothers day (in March in the uk) was particularly challenging. Delighted to see we share the same surname! hugs jan xx
