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.
