The Gift (1917-2010)

You beckon in silence and I beg that you wait
Rearranging my life to fly to your side
On your last days here on earth
Before you take your final breath

You've said everything that needed to be said
In the lifetime you've spent with me
Why then do I still ask
When I know you speak no more?

Once you said you had nothing

And yet you have everything

Giving from your heart

Taking away our hurt

And when the moment comes

When you draw on that last breath

I wait until there is no more

I watch as you are no more

When did death become a beautiful thing?
When peace, tranquility and love sorrounds you
And I know that you are where you want to be
And I am where I was meant to be

I love you Daddy...
