A Tribute To My Hero, My Friend, My Dad   

  November 21, 1927March 16, 2004

 

There was little time to say goodbye

Little time to say

The things I felt within my heart

Not dreaming of the day

 

That I would be without you

That you would soon be gone

There was no clue, no little sign

That there was something wrong

 

I was the only child you had

But you were Dad by heart

To all my childhood friends and those

Whose lives you were a part

 

If I could climb to heaven

I’d build the stairs with stars

And you and I and Mom would have

That special kiss of ours

 

You were a friend to all you knew

And we all miss you so

I hear your voice upon the gentle

Summer breeze that blows

 

I know you’re there behind the clouds

Sitting on a star

I know that God took you to Him

For everything you are

 

My heart is still in pieces

My life forever changed

I never knew that anything

Could cause such crushing pain

 

If time is the great healer

I don’t have time to heal

For it would take forever

I still don’t believe it’s real

 

I thank the Lord both day and night

We had the time we had

You were my hero and my friend

But most of all, my Dad

In Memory of My Beloved Mother

August 30, 1928 to June 16, 2007

 

The love between a mother and her daughter is a bond that even death cannot break. You were my heart!

 

 

It took a little time to write they way I’ve felt so long

I wanted all the words just right and never come out wrong.

You carried me below your heart before I first breathed air

And as I grew you nurtured me, and taught me now to share.

 

You always said, “You are my heart.”

I was so hard to part

I watched you slowly fade away

The day My Daddy passed away

 

I know a part of you went too

When Daddy died too soon

I’d give the stars in heaven

To have brought him home for you

 

I miss you more each passing day

Though all the “firsts” are done

It really doesn’t make it better

You were my moon and sun

 

So until we meet again some time

Rest peacefully my love

Listen to the Angel songs

And learn to sing along.

 

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

 

 

I will love you both until the end of time.

I may not be able to see you,

But you are always alive in my heart.

Your Daughter
