I share in your celebration of Dad's life:
A warm embrace
To see your face
Your eyes lit up in place
We'll say hello
For you did not go
You'll be around in spirit
Hope you can hear it
Love you so much
If only that cured it
Standing by your side
Heart full of pride
Just wanted to help you through
No feeling blue
Calmed regrets with "we'll meet again"
And be together with time to spend
If it's God's will, you had your fill
All is forgiven becasue you were ill
You took my hand
Helped me understand
That our journey through life
Is but a brief span
Cherish time with loved ones
Take long walks in the sand
We'll be looking up for you
But show us your smile
Through the sparkle in the land
Poem written for my dad Noel by his daughter Annette
