You often said that we would miss you,
How those words have proved you true.
We lost the one and only Dad,
Dear Dad, when we lost you.
A beautiful memory, dearer than gold,
Of a father whose worth can never be told,
There's a place in my heart no one can fill,
I miss you, Dad, and always will.
I never ask for miracles,
But today just one would do,
To see the front door open and
See our Dad walk through.
We miss his smile, his kindly ways,
With him we spent some happy days;
We'll miss him when we need a friend,
On him we always could depend.
If only he were here today
Then this to him we could say,
God bless you, Dad, on your birthday.
His nature was loving and giving,
His heart was made of pure gold,
And to us who truly love him,
His memory will never grow old.
I have lost. Heaven has gained,
The most wonderful Dad this world
contained,
There's just one thing makes me glad,
God chose you to be my Dad.
The last time I saw you,
You looked so bright and well,
Little did I know, Dad,
It was our last farewell.
Heavenly Father, hear my prayer,
Guide my Dad with tender care,
Love him in heaven as I did at home,
The dearest father this world could hold.
In dreams I see your smiling face,
And kiss your tender brow,
I then awake and realise,
I have no father now.
Remembering you is easy Dad,
I do it every day,
And missing you is something
That will never go away.
I wish that I could see you Dad,
For just a little while,
I wish that I could hug you and
see your lovely smile,
But wishing gets me nowhere,
And longing is in vain.
So I will hold you in my heart.
Until we meet again.
Thinking of you Dad,
but that is nothing new
I thought about you yesterday,
and the day before that too,
I'll think about you tomorrow,
and as the years come and go
I'll think about you forever,
because I loved you so.
You've earned your place in heaven Dad,
After all that you've been through
I wish I could have helped you
But there was nothing I could do
Peacefully sleeping now out of pain.
I would not wake you up to suffer again.
Fond memories Dad, through the mists
of time
It seems so long, since last we met
But happy times are remembered yet.
There's a bridge of happy memories
From here to heaven above
I know we share that bridge Dad
It's called the Bridge of Love.
Dear Lord up above, give Grandad our love
Hug him and kiss him and tell him we love
Him and that we are always thinking of him.
