You often said we’d miss you Dad
how those words, have proved you true ..
We lost our one and only Dad
dearest Dad, when we lost you.
**
If we had all the world to give
we’d give it, yes, and more ..
To hear his voice, see his smile
and greet him at the door.
But all we can do dear father
is go and tend your grave ..
And leave behind, tokens of love
to the best Dad God ever made.
**
Dad/Grandad is such a special word
a word that brings to mind ..
A big warm smile, a helping hand
a way of being kind.
Devotion to the family
a word of patience too ..
Dad/Grandad is such a special word
because it stands for “YOU”.
**
It’s so strange, that those in need
and those we love the best ..
Are just the ones, God calls away
and took them home to rest.
But every time I think of Dad/Grandad
I seem to hear God say ..
“Have faith and trust my promise”
you’ll meet Him again someday.
**
What we’d give
if we could say ..
Hello Dad/Grandad
in the, same old way.
To hear his voice
and see his smile ..
To sit with him
and chat a while.
So if you still have your Dad/Grandad
cherish his life with care ..
For you’ll never know the heartache
’till you see his vacant chair.
**
You held my hand when I was small
you caught me when I fell ..
The hero of my childhood
and of latter years as well.
Every time I think of you
my heart just fills with pride ..
And though I’ll always miss you Dad
I know you’re by my side.
In laughter and in sorrow
in sunshine and in rain ..
I know you’re watching over me
until we meet again.
**
Memories of Dad
I will take this special moment
to turn my thoughts to Dad ..
Thank him for the home he gave
for all the things we had.
We think about the fleeting years
too quickly, gone for good ..
It seems like only yesterday
I’d go back if I could.
A time when Dad was always there
no matter what the weather ..
Always strong when things went wrong
he held our lives together.
He strived so hard from day to day
and never once complained ..
With steady hands, he worked so hard
and kept the family name.
He taught us that hard work pays off
you reap just what you sow ..
He said that if you tend your crops
your field will overflow.
My life has been bountiful
he taught me how to give ..
In his firm and steadfast way
he taught me how to live.
Dad dwells among the angels now
he left us much too soon ..
He glides across a golden field
above the harvest moon.
I see him in the summer rain
he rides upon the wind ..
And when my path is beaten down
he picks me up again.
**
Dad/Grandad is gone but not forgotten
as it dawns another year ..
In the lonely hours of thinking
thoughts of him, are ever near.
Many think that the
wound has healed ..
.. But little do they
know of the sorrow
that lies in the
heart concealed.
**
Please. God, forgive
a silent tear ..
A fervent wish
our Dad/Grandad was here.
There are others
yes we know ..
But he was ours
and we loved him so.
Dear God, please take a message
to our Dad/Grandad in Heaven above ..
Tell him how much we miss him
and give to him, all our love.
**
Dad/Grandad, you’re not forgotten
though on earth you are no more ..
Still in memory, you are with us
as you always were before.
**
In our hearts your memory lingers
sweetly tender, fond and true ..
There’s not a day dear Dad/Grandad
that we do not think of You.
**
His smile has gone forever
and his hand we cannot touch ..
We have so many memories, of a
Dad/Grandad, we loved so much.
**
An understanding heart
an intelligent mind ..
We miss you Dad/Grandad
you were one of a kind.
**
God Knows how much I miss him
my heart, can’t tell what to say ..
God alone knows how much I miss him
in a home, that’s lonesome today.
**
His charming ways and smiling face
are a pleasure to recall ..
He had a kindly word for each
and died beloved to all.
**
A part of me, he took with him
but his love, he left me to keep ..
So we will never really be parted
the bond between us, is far too deep.
**
Looking back with memories
upon the path you trod ..
We bless the hours, we had with you
and leave the rest with God.
**
We lost a Dad/Grandad
with a heart of gold ..
How much we miss him
can never be told.
He shared our troubles
and helped us along ..
If we follow his footsteps
we will never go wrong.
**
What would I give to clasp his hand
his happy face to see ..
To hear his voice, and see his smile
that meant so much to me.
**
The rolling stream of life goes on
but still the vacant chair ..
Recalls the love, the voice, the smile
of one, who once sat there.
**
Nothing can ever, take away
the love a heart holds dear ..
Fond memories linger every day
remembrance keeps him near.
**
His nature you could not help loving
and a heart that was purer than gold ..
And to those who knew him and loved him
his memory will never grow cold.
**
More and more, each day we miss him
though others, think the wound is healed ..
But, they little know the sorrow felt
lying in our hearts, concealed.
**
You’re not forgotten Father dear
nor ever shall you be ..
As long as life and memory last
I shall remember thee.
**
His memory is
as dear today ..
As in the hour
he passed away.
**
The blow was great
the shock severe ..
We little thought
his death so near.
Only those that
have lost can tell ..
The sorrow of parting
without farewell.
**
We often think of days gone by
When we were all together ..
A shadow o’er our lives is cast
Our loved one gone forever.
**
And have you gone, forever gone
and left us here to weep ..
Till we are called to follow you
and in the grave to sleep.
Yet since you could no longer stay
to cheer us with your love ..
We hope to meet you again in
the bright world above.
**
One precious to our hearts has gone
the voice we loved is stilled ..
The place made vacant in our home
can never more be filled.
Our Father in His wisdom called
the one His love had given ..
And so on earth, the body lays
his soul, is safe in Heaven.
**
No one knows how much I miss you
no one knows the bitter pain ..
I have suffered, since I lost you
life has never been the same.
In my heart your memory lingers
sweetly tender, fond and true ..
There is not a day, dear Father
that I don’t think of you.
**
We think of him in silence
no eyes can see us weep ..
But still within our aching hearts
his memory we keep.
**
Gone is the face
we loved so dear ..
Silent the voice
we loved to hear.
Too far away
for sight or speech ..
But not too far
for love to reach.
Sweet to remember him
who once was here
And who, though absent
is just as dear.
**
A beautiful memory, dearer than gold
of a Dad whose worth can never be told ..
There’s a place in my heart no one can fill
I miss you, Dad, and always will.
**
I never ask for miracles
but today, just one would do ..
To see the front door open
and see our Dad walk through.
**
We miss his smile
his kindly ways ..
With him we spent
some happy days.
We’ll miss him when
we need a friend ..
On him we always
could depend.
If only he
were here today ..
Then this to him
we could say.
