Goodbye Dad

Hey Dad it’s OK you know we all have our time.
I know it sucks and I miss you too, but God said that it was mine.

I know I’m missed like hell by all of my family and friends.
But I will be watching over all of you until we meet again.

I need you to be strong, take care of my sister’s the kids and mom.
They need you right now just like you need them.
I know it’s hard to believe, but in time your hearts will mend.

Stop blaming yourself, searching for a reason you will not find.
Don’t think that God gave me to you and then he changed his mind.

You see he thinks I’m special he needs me up above.
Don’t think that He is punishing you because your not worthy of his love.

I don’t want you feeling guilty, I can’t imagine your despair.
So focus on all the good things, the wonderful life that we have shared.

You cannot grieve forever and I would never want you to.
I want you to pick up the pieces and carry on like you always do.

You taught me how to fix things, showed me integrity is what makes a man.
I hope I’ve made you proud of me but this wasn’t a part of your plan.

Share my memories, embrace my presence, because I am and will always be there.
I’m sure you may have some doubts but I hope you can find comfort through prayer.

When it gets too hard, and life seems unbearable as I’m pretty sure it will…
Just remember that I was doing what I loved and the joy it made me feel.

Dad you were my hero, you showed me everything I know.
I know how much it saddens you but it’s time to let me go.

Keep my memory alive and we will never be apart.
If I had just one wish it would certainly be too mend your broken heart…
