Father's day approaches. I pay tribute to my DAD who lost his fight with cancer |
Today my father passed away. He lived to eighty-two. He said he had a full life. A soldier, and a teacher, a true friend to all he knew. Today my father passed away, His family at his side Although we were estranged He was my father who I looked upon with pride. Today my father passed away. He stood over 6 feet tall. Of one thing sure it could be said He never had an unkind word for anyone at all. Today my father passed away. He joins his wife who went before; she waits for him to call. She was the one he called his sweaty pie, his one and only doll. Today my father passed away. Just one son, his family was small He loved his children, great and all, Michael, Patricia; and Michella, Andiel, Mitchell, and Izabella. Today my father passed away. We celebrate his life with joy and grieve our loss today. If he were to walk along the beach he would leave his footprints in the sand. Today my father passed away. His love for sports began at birth. His choice was basketball or golf, he’s still making plans to play. those final hours here on earth. Today my father passed away. Cancer took its toll with little pain and an open soul. His wit was fresh, his mind was clear; he told us all his time was near. Today my father passed away. His last confession here on earth. No regrets, his life was full. His final words, “Oh God’, “Oh God”. The heavens welcomed his new birth. |
