Goodbye to you
10-19-1986
In my mind I still see you
the way you always were to me
dear father.
So lovely, big smile, heart of gold,
even though you were hurting so,
you lived to make me smile.
I was always the prettiest girl,
the apple of your eye.
No one will ever be good enough
having to live up to such an impressive standard.
The epitome of goodness and truth,
so much more love to give,
dear father,
You had only just begun,
and your song continues today.
Your firstborn,
your spitting image,
though he lacks your character,
If I look deep enough, I can see the father I miss so much.
Though I had you for such a short time,
dear father,
I still look for you in the face of every man I meet.
If I could have you back, even for just a few minutes,
I would tell you how much I love you
How that love not only endures but deepens.
I miss you
I love you
and I am glad you are my father.
In my mind I still see you
the way you always were to me
dear father.
So lovely, big smile, heart of gold,
even though you were hurting so,
you lived to make me smile.
I was always the prettiest girl,
the apple of your eye.
No one will ever be good enough
having to live up to such an impressive standard.
The epitome of goodness and truth,
so much more love to give,
dear father,
You had only just begun,
and your song continues today.
Your firstborn,
your spitting image,
though he lacks your character,
If I look deep enough, I can see the father I miss so much.
Though I had you for such a short time,
dear father,
I still look for you in the face of every man I meet.
If I could have you back, even for just a few minutes,
I would tell you how much I love you
How that love not only endures but deepens.
I miss you
I love you
and I am glad you are my father.
