A father remembered
A FATHER REMEMBERED 10 10 05
It would never be a day like any other
no new adventures for you to discover
because upon this day it came to be you'd be no more
twas your time to be free.
we knew the outcome we knew the score
we knew you were lingering at the tails of deaths door
you knew yourself if truth be true
you hid it well cause that was you
but body weakening you breathed in deep
to further beyonds where you forever sleep
you looked at peace laying their
leaving us so numb to sit and stare
the aching came the tears did flow
all our emotions out on show
you'd hoped for longer we did too
no more memories of us with you.
instead the past your lifetimes end
flowers on headstone to lovingly tend .
for always gone but never far
in our minds our hearts or a midnight star
goodbye for now till our paths may meet
replenished in health and the air is sweet
i did this one a while back thought it was a fitting tribute once his time was sadly up
