The following poems are dedicated to my wonderful father who is no longer with us. He is sadly misses by his two daughters and the granddaughter he never got to hold. My fathere was the most wonderful, kind, patient and respctful man you could ever meet. Today I awoke To find you still gone..... Today I awoke To the words of a song Today I awoke to all that I hear Today I woke to find you still near For yesterdays are not gone And tomorrow will follow the night With knowing you are alright For today I truly awoke To truly knowing that you are and forever will be with me If roses grow in heaven lord Please pick a bunch for me Place them in my father's arms And tell him they are from me Tell him I love him and miss him And when he turns to smile Place a kiss upon his cheek and hold him for awhile Because remembering him is easy I do it everyday But there is an ache in my heart And it won't go away A million times we needed you A million times we cried If love alone would have saved you You would have never died In life we loved you clearly In death we love you still In our hearts you hold a place No one can ever fill A light from our household is gone A voice from our love is stilled A place in our vacant home Which can never be filled Some may think you are forgotten Though on earth you are no more But in our memory you are still with us As you always were before It broke our hearts to lose you But you did not go alone A part of us went with you The day god called you home Your precious memories are for keepsakes, with which we never part God has you safely in his keeping But we have you forever in our hearts We thought of you with love today But that is nothing new We thought about you yesterday And days before that too We think of you in silence We often speak your name Now all we have are memories And your picture in a frame Your memory is our keepsake With which we will never part God has you in his keeping We have you in our hearts. |
