Dear Dad
The pain that I am feeling
Never seems to go away
I wish I could visit heaven
If only for a day
I know that you would hold me
And whisper in my ear
“Don’t think of me as gone away,
Because I am always near”
I know you’re in a better place
Where you are at peace and free
To be happy in eternal life
And can still watch over me
Although the door between our worlds
Is closed and we’re apart
Until the time God opens it
You’re always in my heart.
