There passes not a
single day that I don’t
speak your name,
I ask for strength to
face whatever problems lie
ahead,
There is a void that
seems empty though your
nearness sees me through,
I've known the hear
tache of losing you but like
all things, it's passing . ..
As the memory of your
love gives me peace of
mind, the Lord will lend a
hand,
Each heartache,
becomes a battle won
Only then will “Thy
will be done.”
God took you from this
world of pain and sorrow
to your blessed paths of
gold.
Happy Birthday,
Daddy.
I love you,
