Dearest Papa …… we miss you
Papa… so many images come to our mind whenever we speak your name;
It seems without you in our life, things have never been the same.
What happened to those beautiful days when you were with us;
When our life was consumed in you love, and in your smile ?
What happened to all those times when we always looked to you;
No matter what happened in our life, you could make our gray skies blue ?
Papa, some days we hear your voice and turn to see your face;
Yet in our turning…it seems the sound has been erased.
Papa, who will we turn to for answers when life does not make sense;
Who will be there to hold us close when the pieces just don't fit ?
Oh, Papa, if we could turn back in time and once more hear your voice;
We would tell you that, out of all the dads you would still be our choice.
Please always know we love you and no one can take your place;
Years may come and go but your memory will never be erased.
Papa, our sadness knows no end; we can't believe you're gone;
We're grieving for you every day; it's hard to carry on.
You were always there to support and care, when we needed a true friend,
How we'll ever do without our Papa, we cannot comprehend.
You were our teacher and our guide, our Papa, so good and strong;
Your example will sustain us now, and last our whole lives long.
We're trying to communicate; we hope that you can hear;
Expressing what we feel for you, helps us feel you're near.
Our memories of the times we had, help the pain to go away.
But Papa, our lives won't be the same; we'll miss you everyday.
Please always know we love you and no one can take your place;
Years may come and go but your memory will never be erased.
A part of us went with you; you left a gap too big to fill;
You're our father and our hero; we love you and we always will.
Today, Jesus, as you are listening in your home above;
Would you go and find our Papa and give him all our love.
A loving tribute from
Flavy, Caroline / Rathan, Ingrid / Melroy and family
