...a repost for my Dad, cause I'm still missing him! A Nod And A Wink Time goes by Sways to and fro You have to wonder As we come and go Is it ever enough? Just to say I know We've too much to say With just a nod and a wink All too easy to loose Gone in less than a blink Asking then, what would it take? To make us all just stop and think And now throughout the years The tears they'll come all too often For a love that's lost is too long gone Leaving stolen moments as memories soften And as life goes on one can only hope That the lesson learned is not forgotten

Touching. I understand the missing. SusanHappiness isn't something that happens to you, it's created from within you. Joy is a state of mind. |

And now throughout the years The tears they'll come all too often For a love that's lost is too long gone Leaving stolen moments as memories soften And as life goes on one can only hope That the lesson learned is not forgotten Just tonight I was having a conversation with my sister about our father. Like a rock he was, and beared the weight of it all. I was so much younger then, and have to wonder if I conveyed all the love and admiration I have to this day. If he could do it, I can do it, God forbid I ever let him down!!!! Truly a heartfelt write, thank you for sharing the memories, EagleOne. |

You remind me of one of my favorite songs today, Eddie...that brings tears to my eyes whenever I hear it: Dance With My Father, by Luther Vandross Back when I was a child, before life removed all the innocence My father would lift me high and dance with my mother and me and then Spin me around 'til I fell asleep Then up the stairs he would carry me And I knew for sure I was loved If I could get another chance, another walk, another dance with him I'd play a song that would never, ever end How I'd love, love, love To dance with my father again When I and my mother would disagree To get my way, I would run from her to him He'd make me laugh just to comfort me Then finally make me do just what my mama said Later that night when I was asleep He left a dollar under my sheet Never dreamed that he would be gone from me If I could steal one final glance, one final step,one final dance with him I'd play a song that would never, ever end 'Cause I'd love, love, love To dance with my father again Sometimes I'd listen outside her door And I'd hear how my mother cried for him I pray for her even more than me I pray for her even more than me I know I'm praying for much too much But could you send back the only man she loved I know you don't do it usually But dear Lord she's dying To dance with my father again Every night I fall asleep and this is all I ever dream It will be 7 years next month...and it never gets easier http://www.lyrics.jp/Lyrics/L020100010007.asp M |
