Memories of Dad
I will take this special moment to turn my thoughts to Dad.
Thank him for the home he gave, for all the things we had.
We think about the fleeting years too quickly, gone for good
It seems like only yesterday, I’d go back if I could.
A time when Dad was always there, no matter
what the weather.
Always strong when things went wrong, he held
our lives together.
He strived so hard from day to day & never once complained.
With steady hands, he worked so hard & kept the family name.
He taught us that hard work pays off, you reap just
what you sow.
He said that if you tend your crops, your field will overflow.
My life has been bountiful, he taught me how to give
In his firm and steadfast way he taught me how to live.
Dad dwells among the angels now, he left us much too soon
He glides across a golden field above the harvest moon.
I see him in the summer rain, he rides upon the wind
And when my path is beaten down he picks me up again.
Memories of the Heart
Feel no guilt in laughter; he knows how much you care.
Feel no sorrow in a smile that he's not here to share.
You cannot grieve forever; he would not want you to.
He'd hope that you would carry on the way you always do.
So talk about the good times & the ways you showed you cared.
The days you spent together, all the happiness you shared.
Let the memories surround you, a word someone may say
Will suddenly recapture a time, an hour, a day.
That brings him back as clearly as though he were still here,
And fills you with the feelings that he is always near.
For if you keep those memories you will never be apart
And he will live forever locked safe within your heart
The funeral service was held Tuesday 28th April 2009
