"Because We did Not Get to Say Good Bye"

Dear God,
Please take this message to Dad up above.
Tell him how much we miss him,
And give him all our love. Tell him Happy Fathers Day in heaven up above

He bid no one a last farewell, he said "Good-Bye" to none!
The Heavenly Gate just opened wide,
And a loving voice said "COME"!

Although his soul is now at rest,
And free from care and pain,
The world would seem like Heaven,
If we had him back again.

It broke our hearts to lose him,
But he did not go alone

For a part of us went with him,
The day God called him home!
Precious One from us is gone,
Voice we loved is Stilled,

A chair is vacant in this home,
Which never can be filled.
God gave us strength to face it,
The courage to meet the blow,
But what it has meant to lose him
No One will ever know!
