Dad
For many long weeks
you fought a tough fight
And now you are resting
in heaven's warm light.
We had to decide if
we should let you go;
It was a difficult thing -
you have to know,
But we decided,
because of our love
To set you free
to join mom up above.
We know this won't
be our last good-bye
For you will join Jesus
in heaven on high.
And someday too,
we'll all be there
Praising Jesus
with the angels, up in the air.
