to daddy
As I sit and write these words
Thinking of you in some small way,
Finding just the right thing to say--
In a moment like this.
Through the laughter and pain,
Days of sorrow lingering and then
Those wonderful beginnings and sad end
With memories like this.
Family times cherished
In every moment of space and time
Days and nights we would find
Tender moments shared.
In hearts we are saddened
But memories are flowing,
Moments and times showing
Of family’s best days are ahead.
Weep not but rejoice
In the fine days behind
And then redeeming the time
Each day of our lives.
Keep the faith
And don’t lose sight
Of those precious moments that were right
And precious in every moment.
As I write these words
Coming from the heart
Despite you’ve depart
Our love for you is still there.
We cherish the moments of our lives,
We cherish those moments left to share,
Keeping family close as we care,
Those precious moments of our lives.
Memories shared with each other
As time moves onward on
Cherished while you are gone
As time goes on and on.

But memories are flowing,

Of those precious moments that were right
And precious in every moment.
As I write these words

Our love for you is still there.
We cherish the moments of our lives,
We cherish those moments left to share,
Keeping family close as we care,
Those precious moments of our lives.
Memories shared with each other
As time moves onward on
Cherished while you are gone
As time goes on and on.
