His weary hours and days of pain,
His troubled nights are past,
In our aching hearts we know,
He has found sweet rest at last.
Your smile has gone forever,
And your hand I cannot touch,
I have so many memories,
Of you, Dad, I loved so much.
I did not see you close your eyes,
Or hear your last faint sigh,
I only heard that you were gone,
Too late to say goodbye.
In my heart your memory lingers,
Sweetly tender, fond and true,
There is not a day, dear Father,
That I do not think of you.
My heart still aches in sadness,
My silent tears still flow,
For what it meant to lose you Dad
No one will ever know.
Father
Dear father you are not forgotten,
Though on earth you are no more,
Still in memory you are with us,
As you always were before.
He walks with us down quiet paths,
And speaks in wind and rain,
For the magic power of memory,
Gives him back to us again.
Although we smile and make no fuss,
No one misses him more than us;
And when old times we often recall,
That's when we miss him most of all.
Peacefully sleeping, resting at last,
His weary trials and troubles past,
In silence he suffered, in patience he bore,
Till God called him home to suffer no more.
Those we love don't go away,
They walk beside us every day,
Unseen, unheard, but always near,
Still loved, still missed, and very dear.
