OH, MY FATHER


OH! IF THERE WERE ANY WAY OF SAYNG I’M SORRY, THEN I WOULD.
IF THERE WAS ANY WAY A SAYING THAT I LOVE YOU, OH I WISH I COULD.

IS THERE WERE ANY WAY THAT YOU COULD HEAR, CAN YOU FIND A WAY?
FOR THERE IS MUCH I HAVE ON MY MIND THAT I SO MUCH WISH TO SAY.

TO MY SHAME I NEVER REALLY GOT TO KNOW YOU WHEN YOU WERE HERE.
AND I NOW HAVE MISSED THE OPORTUNITY FOR YOU ARE NO LONGER NEAR.

YOU PAST FROM THIS LIFE WHILE I CRADLED YOU IN MY TREMBLING ARMS,
HAVING GAINED COMFORT KNOWING YOU WERE FREE FROM ALL EARTHLY HARMS.

(BUT IT WAS NOT ENOUGH)

AS YOUR LAST BREATHE LEFT YOU, I LAYED YOUR HEAD UPON YOUR PILLOW.
I LOOKED AT YOUR RELAXED FORM, LIKE THAT OF YOUR FAVOURED WILLOW.

ALL PAIN, ALL SORROW, ALL ANGUISH, ALL NOW GONE,
BUT MY FATHER, YOU LEFT BEHIND A SORROWING ONE.

I REMEMBER THINGS THAT I WISHED I HAD SAID, WHILE YOU WERE THERE
BUT THE FOLLIES OF YOUTH NOW CAUSE THINGS UNSEAD HARD TO BEAR.

NOW IN OLD AGE I LOOK FORWARD TO A TIME WHEN IN OUR LORD’S KINGDOM
YOU WILL LOOK AT ME, AND IN YOUR LOVING ARMS SAY, WECOME HOME MY SON.

I HOPE THAT IT WILL NOT BE TO LATE TO SPEAK ALL OF THOSE WORDS UNSAID,
WHEN YOU TAKE ME IN YOUR ARMS, AND PLACE A KISS UPON MY TORMENTED HEAD.

I SHALL CRY TEARS OF JOY, KNOWING THAT IN FATHERS KINGDOM IS HAPPINESS,
AND TO ALL WHO ARE REPENTANT, THEY, LIKE I, MAY ALWAYS FIND FORGIVNESS.


(DAD, I AM SORRY, OH SO SORRY.)

A heartfelt poem..................to a sincerely missed father

He knows Robert.........he knows
 
To MY Dad for January 20:

It's your birthday next week,Dad

You'd be seventy seven

Its over nine years since you went to Heaven

I miss you so much - you left too soon

It'll be ten years on next fifteenth June

We hadn't then started the family tree

The obsession that is called Genie Allergy

In a way it was you that got us started

Checking on the origins of the dear departed

So I'll end this ode here with heartfelt thanks

and search for more ancestors on canal banks.


Love
Tony
 
Very heartfelt and warm.
Just remember that this life is only the first step of the journey.
 
FAMILIES ARE FOREVER




IF YOU COULD HIE UNTO HEAVEN
WOULD YOU FIND YOUR FAMILIES THERE?

IF YOU CLIMBED THE HEAVENLY STAIRWAY
WOULD THEY GREET YOU ON REACHING THE LAST STAIR?

CAN OUR FAMILIES BE FOREVER
OR THEY JUST TO BE TOGETHER FOR THIS LIFE ALONE?

WE ARE ALL SAINTS AND SINNERS
THIS REASON CAME A SAVIOUR, FOR OUR LIVES HE DID ATONE.

IF WE THEN AS INDIVIDUALS
ARE SAVED IN GODS KINGDON AFTER ALL THAT WE CAN DO.

THEN, IS IT NOT A REALITY
THAT ALL OF OUR FAMILIES WILL BE SAVED THERE TOO?

NO THOUGHT SHOULD EVER ENTERE OUR MIND
THAT OUR FAMILY WILL WE NOT SEE AS WE STEP INTO THE LIGHT

WHERE TO GREET US WITH SMILING FACES
WILL BRING GREAT JOY AND FEELINGS OF PURE DELIGHT.

THERE IS NO END TO THIS LIFE
FOR MY GOD AND YOUR GOD HAS DECREED IT TO BE ETERNAL

FAMILIES CAN BE TOGETHER FORVER,
LIVING AGAIN IN HIS KINGDOMS, HAVING HIM AS OUR PATERNAL.
