You gave me the gift of Life
And you gave me the start of living
You made a lot of sacrifices
You were receiving as well as giving
The days of spending time together
Have all but come to a sudden halt
I know the day will come
When we will again talk and take that walk
As the people mourn your passing
I am at peace from deep, deep within
I have not only called you my father
But I also considered you my dearest friend
You lived the life that a man wanted to live
And along the way you made achievements and mistakes
I honor the position that I have as your son
And with you, My Love I hope you would take
Do not worry about me and where I am
I know that you will continue to father me
From the heavenly skies that lie above
And one day my soul to will be at peace and free
So, as I close my words to you and I say
Let no one come to you with issues undone
And let no one tell you that I did not Love you
And these are the words to my Father from his Son!
Your Son
