I take a step closer to eternity
waiting anxiously to see your face
tears are falling from my hazle eyes
finally...I have found this special place.

You have always been in my heart
every single day, I whisper your name
I miss not having a father around....
and I know it will never be the same.

All the nights that I have cried
wishing that God kept you alive
we needed you more than he even knew
my life ended too the day that you died.

The young carefree child I was disappeared
replaced by a little girl who was so lost
had to experience pain at such a young age
spent years trying to be someone I'm not.

I wanted you to be proud of me Dad
even though I knew you always were...
wanted to show you that I was okay
that through the years, I had learned.

I couldn't be angry at God for what happened
it was your time to go, and he called for you
I just wish I could have told you goodbye...
or held your hand...or wept with you too.

Tears are all that I've ever known
and as I take one more step to heaven
I know that you will take my sorrows
and comfort every single one of them.

A light flashes in front of me...
I'm getting so close to where you are
Dad...can you hear me? I'm here
how far am I from you? How far?

As I approach the pearly gates
I look behind me...at those stairs
knew I couldn't turn back now
to leave you now I couldn't bear.

Then they opened...and there you stood
your arms open, welcoming me in
and I broke down and started to sob
running to you like a little kid.

Your tears soon mixed with mine
as you tell me how much you've missed me
that we have so much to catch up on
and now that I'm here...we have eternity.

A universal feeling, wanting to have that loved one hear us.  You capture the feeling here.

I can empathise with this as I lost my mother when I was very young. A lovely tribute to your father. Maggie
