I will never forget him.


Dad Departed.

Blessed is the passing of time,
it takes our pain away.
I don't know really if this is true,
but it's what the folk here say.

Blessed are our ageing years,
wisdom comes from many tears.
How many tears must be shed
before I forget that HE IS DEAD?

Precious Father, now you're gone,
your grave these flowers I place upon.
No words of mine can ever say
how much I miss You every day.

So rest in Peace my Precious Dad,
I know you don't want me so sad...
you have not gone, in my heart you thrive,
but I wish you were here and still alive...

God Bless You, I don't know where you are..
but in my heart you are never far.

God Bless you my Precious Dad. Wait for me.

I have lost two close family members in the space of a month and one was only 31 years of age so I can relate to this all to easily the sadness in this poem is so very evident and your love for him is in every line and I'm sure he would be very proud of you.

Very heartfelt and expresses how I feel about my grandfather - they say time is a healer, which it is, but there are still the jolts and feelings that come at us from time to time - I try to remember all the good parts and hold onto the love - your father sounds a precious person, a lucky man to have loved and given love to you.
