Today is the day we say goodbye.
No one prepares us for this day.
No one is ever ready.
We have a lifetime of memories,
and yet a lifetime does not seem like enough.
There have been good times and bad,
Happy and sad.
Yet through it all we have come together as family.
As I watched you fight cancer
I stood there amazed.
At a man I call dad
Standing there so brave
Smiling and laughing
You stood there so strong
I was never so inspired
By a man on this earth
Until I saw how you handled
The hand you’ve been dealt
I stand here today
In awe and amazement
You have inspired so many
And touched many lives
This amazing man I call dad
Who had faith and is still alive
In the hearts of the loved ones
Who carry you near.
We will meet again someday.
I look forward to that day.
We will have time to talk, and laugh, and say
All the words left unspoken.
All the things we need to say.
Only then we will see
That a father and daughter
Have love for each other
That defies all time and distance.
Those words left unspoken
Will be no more
And together we will find peace
In eternity evermore.
Love,
Your daughter Lisa
