THE HARDEST THING I'VE EVER HAD TO DO WAS TURN
AROUND AND SAY MY LAST GOOD-BYE TO YOU...
I STOOD THERE AS THEY PLACED THEIR HANDS ON
A CASKET FILLED WITH THE ONLY FATHER I EVER KNEW...
I WATCHED AS THEY SLOWLY CARRIED YOU
INTO A CAR NO ONE KNEW...
TEARS FILLED MY EYES, I BEGAN TO CRY
IT SEEMED LIKE SLOW MOTION AS CARS PARADED BEHIND... TEARFULLY I LOOKED AS THE LIGHT TURNED RED, REMEMBERING YOU IN THAT HOSPITAL BED...
TRYING TO THINK OF ALL YOU SAID,
APPROACHING THE CHURCH,
QUIETLY PEOPLE OUT FRONT
WHISPER YOUR ARRIVAL...
TEARFULLY I PRAY FOR YOU TO STAY
WHILE EVERYONE SOFTLY SAYS IT'S OK
THEY CARRIED YOU THROUGH THE HALL OF
THE CHURCH WE BOTH KNEW...
I SAT UPFRONT CLOSE TO YOU...
THIS WAS HARD FOR ME TO DO...
WHILE LISTENING TO OTHERS REMEMBERING YOU...
I STOOD IN FRONT OF THOSE WE KNEW,
READING THE POEMS I WROTE FOR YOU...
AND MISSING YOU MORE THAN WORDS COULD SAY
SO TODAY I QUOTE "REST IN PEACE MY FATHER"
THAT'S ALL I WROTE.....
