A poem and a tribute to my father who died on Father’s day of 1997.

My dad  

My dad was a quiet man

Who loved us the best he could

Gentle, loving, & devoted to

Just the way my Lord would do

He lived the life he thought was right

He loved Jesus with all his might

I often saw Him praise the Lord

With a tear, a smile, but few a word

We spent time, my dad and me

Walking, talking, about eternity

His greatest desire he often shared

Was for his family to be there (heaven)

Jesus was Lord of his life

And to this he would testify

Will you be there, with a shout? 

Or will you linger and be left out

The choice is yours, don’t delay

His savior is waiting for us today

My Dad went on to be with Him

And we’re to join him again 

Make your peace with the Lord today

Take this moment and don’t delay

My dad is waiting for me to come

My choice is made; I’ll be there above

He said to warn you and help you find

The road to Heaven, He was to climb

Will you join my dad and me? And live for eternity?

Happy father’s day dad, I love you.  I am rich because of you.

Lovingly, Sandy
