It’s Your Day and You’re Not Here

If only you were here today,

Our day would be complete.

To celebrate and honor you,

For being a dad and a mom to us.

We grew up and you stayed by our side

Most of the time…

To laugh, to sing, to dance

And advise.

If only I can turn back time,

I would not let you out of my sight.

But tis’ God’s will you’re home

With Him,

I sighed… I cried… in my sleep.

Yes, it was eight years ago when

God called you home…

But it seemed only like yesterday—

When you laughed, sang, danced

And gave advise,

To a daughter who just turned 18.

Daddy, thinking of you makes me cry,

I shed tears of joy and sorrow—

Joy—for you are home at last

Sorrow—for the trauma of that dreadful day.

—

But I want to remember those

Happy days I spent with you—

I Love You Dad
