MY DADDY’S GRIEF]
If you ask my Dad how he feels?
He’ll probably be as quiet as the midnight air
Because of this horrible pain he tries to bare
And If you ask him and he just quietly sighs
Look harder, you’ll see the pain in his eyes
Even if he does happen to tell you he’s coping
Then that just surely means…….He is hoping?
If he happens to mutter out, I’m surviving today
Oh then trust me, you know he is really not Ok
He has been so very quiet since that awful day
It’s just so hard for him to find the words to say
He really thinks he has to be stronger than steel
But he is just very fragile, suffering this ordeal
He feels like he has to hide away all those tears
Just suck it all in, and show no one of his fears
I’m his child in heaven, and he’s hurting oh so bad
He gets up and goes every day, even though he’s sad
He watches my mommy cry and holds her oh so tight
He always tears up, but holds back with all of his might
If you ask, how are you today, and he says oh I’m just fine
He’s really not; he needs a hug, that’s definitely a sure sign
His heart is burdened with such terrible doubts often everyday
Please let him know, he didn’t let me down or fail in any way
I know he loves me very much and he thinks of me each day
But his poor heart is so broken, so please help him find a way
To find peace, comfort and a voice to shed his grief and pain
For without it, he cannot start to heal and lighten grief’s stain
Also tell him its ok to lose it, break down and shed those tears
Cause it takes more strength to cry, then to hold back the fears
I love you daddy, I’m always here with you, we’re never far apart
So for me, could you begin to heal and open back up your heart.

Don't cry for me Daddy,
I'm right here.
Although you can't see me
I see your tears.
I visit you often,
I go to work with you each day,
And when it's time for you
to close your eyes ,
On your pillow is where I lay.
I hold your hand &
stroke your hair,
And whisper in your ear.
If you're sad today Daddy,
Remember, I am here.
God took me home.
This we know is true.
But you'll always be My Daddy
Even though I'm not with you.
We will never be apart,
For everytime you think of me,
Please know I'm in your Heart..........

Don't cry for Me Daddy
Hello Daddy
Hello there my sweet Daddy
It's your Angel up above.
I know that you can't see me
But I hope you feel my love.
I made my journey home
I'm as safe as a baby can be.
The only thing that is missing
Is having you up here with me.
I know that you are sad
And you think of me each day.
I'm safe up here in Heaven
Where Jesus and I play.
I watch over when you're sleeping
I clasp my little hands and pray.
That God will give you comfort
During the time that I'm away.
You had dreams to watch me learn
Dreams to watch me grow.
But never had you dreamt
That you would have to let me go.
Being apart is the hardest thing
That we'll ever have to face.
But up here in Heaven
I have a special place.
I know that you don't understand
Why I had to leave.
But if you listen really close
You'll hear my whispers in the breeze.
So on those days when you are sad
And you think you can't go on.
I close my eyes and pray that God
Will give you strength to carry on.
Daddy, I love you oh so much
But now I have to go.
He promises to keep me safe and warm
until the day he calls you home.
And until the day that you come home
We'll be preparing a place for you.
A place so beautiful you cannot imagine
Where the streets are paved with gold.
A place where we can run and play
With hills for us to roam.
I'll meet you at the gates Daddy
With all my Angel friends.
Oh Daddy I forgot to mention
God will be there too with His precious Son.
Daddy, God wants me to tell you
That He is very proud.
Your loyalty and strength in faith
Has not gone unseen.
You will be blessed and protected
For all eternity.
God is calling softly Daddy
It's time for me to go home.
So Daddy dear remember please
That I am always near.
I love you very much Daddy
I'll be okay until you get here.
So remember Daddy, listen close
You'll hear my whispers in the breeze.
You'll hear my little giggles
As the wind tickles the trees.
You'll hear me laugh and squeal with delight
As other children play.
These are my gifts to you Daddy
So you'll know I'm near everyday.
Daddy, God is calling again
I really must go home.
I love you my sweet Daddy!
Love, Your Baby Girl
