Happy Father's Day Daddy

I thought I would see you again
I prayed to God to make this happen
It hurts that it wasn't the case
You left to see God face to face.

I wrote several poems just for you
To tell you that I love and miss you
I'll hang on to the memories
By time not erased
In my mind and heart
They will be placed.

My sorrows will not overgrown
For I know you are not alone
You're now with God and mommy
Living in joy for eternity.

You left us the eighteenth of May
That was the saddest time for me
For I can no longer say
Happy Father's Day today.

Happy Birthday in heaven, Daddy (June 9)

Heaven is celebrating your birthday today, Daddy. I Love you forever!

Here is a poem I wrote for you, on June 9, 2001, 22 days after you passed away.

I wish I were there, to tell you how much I care
I wish I'd seen your face one last time in earthly space.

I keep thinking you are still there, sitting in your wheelchair
Waiting for my call only to realize you'll not answer at all.

For you have gone to a place, where there is beauty and peace
Where you have no more tears and sorrows, no more fears of tomorrows.

Say hello to mommy for me, I'm sure she's now very happy
Together you will walk side by side, up there with God to abide.

Goodnight, enjoy God's light, rest awhile if you might
I will dream of you tonight.
