Ode to My Father

My Father, my Dad, I loved you dearly
    More than words can say...
My only wish, just one more chance
    For you to hear these words today...
But now your life has come to pass
    You've left this world behind...
And with all the love in our hearts, we hope
    'Tis a better place you'll find...
Your soul lives on, your memory lingers
    With your loving family...
Maybe, someday, as time goes by
    Together again we'll be...
