Although You Are Gone

Almost everything is gone
but these memories we hold
though your days are done
your story still is told.

Each thing you ever had
has now been swept away
but everything you ever gave
is in our hearts to stay.

Material posessions once yours
are no longer here
but your presence is felt
in our hearts your always near.

No, we may not have you anymore
we know your watching from above
but one thing will always be true
we will always share our eternal love.

Someday in the distant future
another time, another place
we will all be together again
and we shall see your smiling face.

Although you are gone
your still in our hearts
for love such as you gave
never truly does depart.

We do not sit and cry
although we  miss you true
someday you'll hear it once again
Daddy, we love you.





On the wings of words our spirits fly, and our souls are free.

Yes, the love never dies, does it? This is a touching reminder of how precious those memories can be. Thank you for sharing them with us!

*sigh* such sweet love. Pure and true is sure to be felt by him though he is no longer with you. *sigh* this is beautiful. Much love and New Years hugs to you from me.

Love I leave with you my friend whether it be in your life or of yet the essense of your dreams.

Shadow, D, Startime, it is nice to be able to remember him with a smile that helps to ease the ache of missing him.  Thanks all so much and hugs back to you.

Sven, thank you for the kind words.  I only lost him November 1999, and he was the only parent I ever had so it was twice as hard.  The good Lord has granted peace to my heart, and I know he is in a far better place.....or at least I believe this is true anyhow.  Thanks and a Happy New year blessed with peace to you too.  *s*
