Dearest Dad, <br />You've been gone for a year and to us you were very dear <br />To us you were the light of our life and you loved us with all your might <br />You were always there when need be <br />Whether for me or a friend in need <br />The grandchildren thought you were grand <br />Because you could lift them above your head with one hand <br />You were your family's pride and joy <br />Mother could not have loved you more <br />Now you're in God's great band <br />I pray he loves to hear you play the way we did <br />You have left us great memories of a beautiful and wonderful man <br />And we'll all someday be togeather again <br />So until then Dad may you be with peace <br />And know how much you're loved and missed in our own little band<br /><br />Bernice Shipman<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/dearest-dad/
