Rest Assured Dad

 

From the depths of my heart

I hear a voice coming through

A voice of reason

In memory of you

 

I know your illness

Was taking you from me

Though I protested with the deepest of love

It’s all part of life now I see

 

God couldn’t save you

But then again, I know

He was saving you

From the illness undertow

 

With his open arms

God welcomed you home

Where all your pain was gone

And now with wife of Joan

 

Together again

Like we all knew you would be

Where we’ll all be when our time comes

Your Daughter and Son, my sister and me

 

I know it’s not about

Us losing you

But more of you finding peace

And knowing we’ll always love you too

 

If we could choose

Who to care best for you

We’d ask God to bring you home

For we want the very best for you

 

Rest assured Mom and Dad

We’ll see you again

When our time comes

We’ll smile for you both until then
