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.
