All my life you were always there, you were not shy to show you care. You guided me with insight fair, And filled my days when all seemed bare. From a baby to a child, your tender heart so loving mild As a teen I was so wild, you steered me right and sometimes smiled. Then I grew and on my own, You made me feel never alone No matter where I chose to go, Where you were, was always “home”. Your waning years, begot some fears I have shed so many tears, for you have gone, my heart so dear. I never thought that this would end, in agony my soul does rend The parenting on me you spent, turned me into your best friend. I can not help it and I cry, life has changed the day you died But now I must this last goodbye, with much love I won’t deny On those angels wings soul glides, to heaven now to peace do fly.....and one day my soul thee’s nigh
