Missing Dad

I hoped to spend more time with you

But I waited too long to come

I was coming that day to stay with you

But the angels were urging you on

I had so much to say to you

But the words would not be spoken 

I wanted to help take care of you

But our Lord said it’s time to come home. 

I will whisper my words to the heavens

God will see that you hear

So you’ll know what I’ve been thinking 

How hard I’ve prayed through my tears 

I want you to know that I love you

And that we’ll all be fine down here

I wanted to say that it’s ok to go

When you’re ready, go without fear

I’ll miss you but I’ll know in my heart

That you’ve gone to be with our Lord

I will cry because it’s lonely without you

But will smile at the memories we shared

I prayed for the day that your body would heal

That your days with me would be longer

But God had a different plan for you 

So I’ll gracefully let you go

One glorious day I’ll come see you

When my time on earth is done

I’ll have forever to spend with you 

On the day that the Lord calls ME home
