To My Dad on His Birthday
From Heaven


I know I didn’t have much time
To spend on earth with you,
But I will always treasure
The things we got to do—

Like the way your smiling face
Always looked at mine;
Love was always in your touch
And in your eyes did shine.

I didn’t want to leave you,
But God had plans for me,
And so, of course, I had to go—
I hope that you can see.

I know you want to see me,
And, Dad, I’d like that, too,
But someday we’ll have endless days
For all we want to do.

So, till it’s time for God to call
Both you and Mommy, too,
Remember that I’m waiting here
And always loving you.

With love from Heaven,
Chad
