My best friend's father passed away today He was my father too but there was nothing that I could do Nothing would have stopped him He was ready and left with a smile on his face Here I am with words to say to sad faces As the faces turn to me I lose my words I lose my way Flashback My father passed to What were the things that others told me Those words didn't work for me I remember I remembered to remember HIM Bright and early in the morning smile on his face heading out the door to work He loved his job and worked it well He was loved by many and he loved many He had these stories that made everything seem right and put a smile to you face "I remember this one time.." You helped me to understand the war and that millions weren't killed in vain and that you would do it all over again if you could I remember that you loved me I remember that you were always there for me I remember you And as I talk I see the tears stop and replace with laughter over memories that help to keep us strong together Thank you DAUGHTER comes from mom even though I'm not a child of theirs I say my goodbyes and head home lost in the memories of the day. I keep thinking that I'm going to wake up from this dream which is reality I will remember you well Daddy or Dad or Pops... I will remember you well Love, Ladycat *May the spirits keep you strong Mary. Know that he was my father too and I miss him also.* Dancing is the loftiest, the most moving, the most |

This is a very good poem. It really touched me, though it is very sad. I enjoyed reading it. I hope all concerned are doing well.  Hugs, Ethel |

This is so sad I can relate to the poem my dad has passed away also Real friends celebrate in who we are and have faith in all that we can become |
