FATHER...FATHER....

Father....Father.... hold me now,
I long to feel your touch.
Father ....Father.... my heart weeps still,
I miss you so very much.

I miss your warmth, I miss your smile,
I miss your gentle guiding hand.
You taught how to hold a bat,
When to walk, to run, to stand.

To this day, I rejoice my fortune,
Knowing I was a lucky one;
To be born of a loving and gentle man,
Father...Father... hold me now...

My father passed away on 1981

If you are grieving over the lost of your father, can I just tell you that the pain doesn't get smaller nor fade away. You don't forget him. You don't wake up one day to suddenly discover everything's fine. It's been 26 years and I love my father as much as ever. I'd give anything to see his face again and hear him laugh - to have him meet my lovely son...

He lives in me. I feel him. I am reminded of him constantly. I don't hurt anymore.
