For so long you've been by my side <br />whatever i wanted you would decide <br />Always a strong hand to help me along <br />when everything else felt so wrong <br /> <br />The screams, the jeers and then the smiles <br />the long roads ahead the endless miles <br />The walks we took, the roads we ran <br />the fish you caught, the songs you sang <br />The hugs you gave, that tender touch <br />the love you had was just to much <br />For the Lord needed an angel like you <br />to share his love with the scared and blue <br /> <br />These are all things i ll miss while i say goodbye <br />and i wish i could have that last kiss <br />and not sit here and cry... <br /> <br />I wish for just one more day <br />just to say the things i want to say <br />But i know your happy way up there <br />i'm only scared because i care. <br /> <br />Up in heaven is where you are <br />high above amongst the stars <br />Smiling at me everyday <br />and then i hear you say...... <br /> <br />My child, my love dont cry no more <br />to have his love is what i died for <br />This body of mine the Lord did save <br />now forgive him and be brave <br /> <br />To forgive is done, to forget insanity <br />my dad you've always been my vanity <br />But to lie this body down in grief <br />is the only thing i can achieve <br /> <br />Standing crying by your grave <br />just one hug is what i crave <br />For a heart so bitter in misbelief <br />is what your death did achieve <br /> <br />Now pray, oh lord i understand <br />no matter how i miss that hand <br />You've made me see so clearly now <br />infront of you we all will bow <br /> <br />For my Dad is no more gray <br />a sculpture his face made of clay <br />His body a temple in which we can see <br />that thanks to your love he can now be free. <br /> <br />*to a friend who's father passed away*<br /><br />Carike Klokow<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/till-we-meet-again-2/
