Life In the Jet Stream

My Dad was a jet engine mechanic.
He could fix em and make them fly
ten thousand miles through the sky.
But nobody knew how to fix my Dad
when his heart gave out a troubled cry.
So one day he breathed his final sigh
and that was it for my dad.
We missed that time to say goodbyes.
His soul now dwells with the
Spirit in the sky.
My Dad is living a wonderful life
in the jet stream in the sky.
