I hope in heaven
God has a special day
For all the fallen father’s
Who have sadly passed away
For though you’re no longer with me
I think of you every passing day
Always in my memory
And in my heart you’ll stay
You always were content
To forever hold my hand
Long into adulthood
And when I started to stand
You never said you were leaving
You never said goodbye
Then one day you left me
And God only knows why
~~~###~~~
Even though you’re gone
You’re still in my heart, still in my soul
I try to live by your example
And the virtues you extolled
And now you’re no longer with me
I can still feel you near
Your presence all around me
And the love I held so dear
Father, it’s been a little cooler
Every day since you’ve been gone
But every day’s a little closer
For this, your wayward son
So as I move on further
And my life nears the end
I know you’ll be waiting for me
So my love to you I send
~~~###~~~
My father dear father
You know I love you still
Though you’re pushing up daisies
Now buried on a hill
And when it finally came
To lay your burden down
I know you didn’t make a fuss
Or even make a a sound
Now, even though I miss you
I still can feel you near
In the shadows I can see you
In the wind your voice I hear
