Forty eight years, celebrating their Wed
Who knew this day my dad would be dead
We all went out to celebrate
Not knowing this day He was meeting his fate
My dad had a cancer and thought it was done
But the radiation to his throat was harsher and won
Being a medic I worked on my dad hoping I could bring him back
Impossible questions where did I lack?
All of my family and medical friend
Said I did everything right there was nothing to mend
I realized that day I wasn't God and I had no power over living or dead
But even to this day I relive in my heart and my head
Daddy, I am sorry and I miss you so
I tried my hardest to not let you go
I wake in the night just after the same dream
Trying to save him and wake with a scream
My dad came to me not long ago
and told me sweet princess to let my greif flow
He was proud of me for what I had done
And to always remember I actually won
His place was in Heaven to stay forever
Continue my work with a renewed endeaver
So now I started new in my plan
Helping those cross over hand to Hand
I miss my dad and I know he's aware
He tells me in my dreams I'm in God's care.
I love you Daddy and wish you were here, but thats my selfishness only from fear
I am glad my dad is now totally healed
Because God showed me the life he has sealed
I will help other face death with my smiles
I will travel the earth no matter the miles
I will hold the loved ones hand as they go
To meet their maker and then they will know
That because of my work and because of my dad
They have an angel on earth they never knew they had
I thank you my daddy and God for my gift
To take care of others and give them a lift
From my hand to God's hand I proudly remember
the pain of that day my greif I surrender

That is beautiful. You had me in tears

Everything I write is my life. Be happy, my dad is walking on streets of gold

And he's not hurting anymore. One day you will be able to see him again

that was beautiful!!!!
