Memories of my Father

Memories of my father
brings not sadness
but a smile
for the memories
are very good.
The sadness comes only

at the thought of no new

memories to come.

We lost not a saint for

he was too full of life

to be a saint.

What was lost was one

very, very, good man.

Where I to search the world

and all time, never would

I find a man I would rather

call father...

I AM FREE

Don't grieve for me, for now I'm free,

I am following the path God laid for me.

I took His hand when I heard Him call,

I turned my back and left it all.

I could not stay another day, to laugh,

to love, to work or play.

Tasks undone must stay that way.

I found that peace at the close of the day.

If my parting has left a void,

then fill it with remembered joy.

A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss.

Ah, these things I too will miss.

Be not burdened with time of sorrow,

I wish for you the sunshine of tomorrow.

My life's been full, I savored much,

Good friends, good times, a loved one's touch.

Perhaps my time seemed all too brief,

Don't lengthen it now with undue grief.

Lift up your hearts and share with me,

God wants me now, He set me free.

I miss my dad terribly. I was not ready for him to go. I will always treasure the time we shared and the love between a father and a daughter will always be remembered.

Thank you to all my friends and family for your thoughtfulness, kind words, hugs, smiles, shoulders, and shared tears. You'll never know how much it means to have you in my life.
