DAD
by kathy
Dad, I'm sitting here thinking back
I remember the day of your heart attack
I cried and I prayed for you to stay
I thought I would hate God if He took you away
It broke my heart that you had to go
But I have finally come to know
God took you home to ease your pain
He wanted you with Him again
You left so much of you behind
Smiles and laughter and hearts so kind
I picked a star out in the sky
I look at that star, you did not die
You're always here inside my heart
Your warmth, your love did not depart.
I know that you are happy there
To live for eternity without a care
I think of the day that one day will come
I'll see you again at the gates to His Kingdom
