Father
I looked into your eyes,
I could see your will to live.
I wanted to breathe for you,
so you could just rest.
I wanted to comfort you,
and ease your mind.,
by telling you it was alright to stay
if you like.
Although I knew better,
because God was already reaching
for your hand.
Dear Daddy,I wanted to reach inside your body,and remove your pain.
I remember how you would say"I"m alright".,,
Deep down ,I knew you were hurting.
You hardly ever complain,
How were I to know you were so sick.
You had become so quiet and humble in your golden years.
I believe you are a angel now, I can almost see your wings.
Rest now father,and take your place in God"s kingdom.
I hope to see you soon.
