Daddy when you close your eyes, what do you see? Is heaven as magical as we think? Daddy with your eyes closed, you look pain free without worry and full of peace. You went to sleep daddy, and with you took a piece of me. But I know God's holding you now and that is so awesome to us. Be good in heaven daddy, and remember to keep us in sight. You have five of us here daddy that you still need to guide. Even though you're gone daddy you taught us so much, how to survive in this world beginning with a daddy's first loving touch.
Now it's your turn daddy to be held oh so tight, by our loving Father who loves you so much. C.Hymel
