WE'LL ALWAYS WONDER WHY HEAVEN 
HAS TO TAKE THE GOOD GUY'S FIRST

WHY DO THE best ONES ALWAYS SEEM
TO GO BEFORE THE WORST?

WHY WERE YOU TAKEN FROM US?

WERE YOU NEEDED UP above
FOR SOME DIVINE, FAR GREATER PLAN
THAT WE KNOW NOTHING OF?

THERE MUST BE good REASON
FOR HOW ELSE CAN WE EXPLAIN
WHY SOMEONE loved SO MUCH HAS GONE
WHILE OTHERS STILL REMAIN?

WHEN YOU LEFT IT SEEMED AS IF
A light HAD JUST GONE OUT
WE WONDER, DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH
YOU'RE MISSED AND thought ABOUT?

THERE ARE SO MANY QUESTIONS
BUT ONE THING WE KNOW IS TRUE
THE Heavens GAINED THEIR BRIGHTEST STAR
THE DAY WE LOST YOU

Love You DAD xxx

LOVING MEMORIES OF A SPECIAL DAD  AT CHRISTMAS TIME 


A loving heart, a secret thought

a silent little tear

are all the things that keep you close

when christmas time is here


For you were someone special Dad

one of the very best

the pain and grief was hard to bear

when you were laid to rest


Our bond was sadly broken

and for now we are apart

but time, they say, can help to heal

this ever aching heart


Christmas thoughts are bitter sweet

yet lovely to recall

for Dad, it's at such special times

you're missed the most of all.                                   

We think about you OFTEN

and the happy times we had

and EVERYTIME we do we say a quiet thank you, DAD

because you did your BEST FOR US

in every single way

and you're MISSED more than ever

but especially today

and deep down, we will never heal

our HEARTS will grieve FOREVER

will time make us forget you?

Or stop loving you? - No, never

and yet, to be too sorrowful

would NOT BE FAIR TO YOU

because you'd hate to see us sad

and so unhappy, too

so just for you, we'll do our best

to SMILE as we recall

how fortunate we were to have

the BEST DAD of them all.

                                 

With Love To A Very Special DAD on Fathers Day

If I could have one lifetime wish

A dream that would come true,

I'd Pray to God with all my heart,

For Yesterday and YOU.

In life I loved you dearly

In death I love you still.

In my heart you hold a place

No one else can fill.

You left behind my broken heart

And happy memories too....

But I never wanted memories DAD

I only wanted YOU.

THINKING OF YOU TODAY & EVERDAY

              DAD

There's a void you left behind

that no one else can fill

we may be parted for a while

but, Dad, we love you still

We wish with all our hearts

that we could see you just once more

and see your smiling, happy face

as you walk through the door

Our arms can't reach to hug you

as you watch from up above

but, Dad, you know we are sending you

our very deepest love.
