My Dear Old Dad

My dad decided to leave me
but before he left "he said"
I don't want any tears for me
I just want laughter instead,

I know you don't want me to go
And left up to me I would stay
but I have been called to my resting place
so I must leave you today,

With that my father left me
and my heart turned to stone
the only way i can now speak to him
is on gods ancient telephone,

So at night I sit alone
and talk to me dear old dad
and remember when he made me laugh
And all the fun times we had,

Every day I really miss you dad
but life goes on as they say
I will talk with you on gods telephone
until we meet again someday.

Miss you Dad
Annie

It's within your heart, I say
To smile, as it was your fathers way
A well written tribute.

The ability to describe life with words is similar to painting a picture; both can be powerful tools.

Annie,

this is sad, touching and yet refreshing. A beautiful piece indeed! Do read it to him on God's ancient telephone, he'll be proud
