Dad, 26 years today love and miss you so much

Loving you is easy,
We do it every day,
Missing you is a heartache,
That never goes away.

A part of my heart he took with him,
But his love he left me to keep,
So we will never really be parted,
The bond between us is too deep.

Resting where no shadows fall,
In peaceful sleep he awaits us all;
God will link the broken chain,
When one by one we meet again.

Happy Fathers Day Dad

Father's Day without you is like music
Muted by a distance undisturbed.
It is so faint I cannot tell the feeling,
Though I myself am gripped with pensive sorrow.
I listen all the more for what I cannot
Hear, and you are somewhere close beside me.
"It's joy!" you say, and then I nod, unbending,
Listening still while weeping like fine rain.

Yes, it's joy, and you again are with me.
I turn to you, and I am in your arms.
The music is a rhapsody around me,
And I am safe again and free to cry.

It is so beautiful, I cannot stand it,
I am a torrent, shaking in my gladness,
And you recede, as distant as the music,
Smiling dimly far across the plain.

"Please, please!" I say, yet know that what I'm asking
No longer is. Your day will come and go,
And I will crave and fear its restless turning
Because my happiness must be my pain.

llyrics to one sweet day Boyz 11 men & Mariah Carey

Sorry, I never told you, all I wanted to say.
Now it's too late to hold you. '
Cause you've flown away, so far away.

Never, Had I imagined, yeah, living without your smile.
Feelin' and knowing you hear me.
It keeps me alive. Alive!

And I know you're shining down on me from Heaven,
Like so many friends we've lost along the way,
And I know eventually we'll be together.
One sweet day.

Picture a little scene from Heaven.

Darling, I never showed you.
Assumed you'd always be there.
I took your presence for granted.
But I always cared
And I miss the love we shared.

And I know you're shining down on me from Heaven.
Like so many friends we've lost along the way.
And I know eventually we'll be together.
One sweet day.

Picture a little scene from Heaven.

Although, the sun will never shine the same, I'll
always look to a brighter day.

Yeah, Lord, I know, when I lay me down to sleep,
You'll always listen, as I pray!

And I know you're shining down on me from Heaven,
Like so many friends we've lost along the way,
And I know eventually we'll be together.
One sweet day.

And I know you're shining down on me from Heaven,
Like so many friends we've lost along the way,
And I know eventually we'll be together.
One sweet day.

Sorry, I Never told you, all I wanted to say

MISS YOU SO MUCH DAD

Loving memories we will never forget,
Sadly missed along life's way,
With silent thought and deep regret,
We think of you every day,
No longer in our life to share,
But in our hearts he's always there.

Gone are the days we used to share,
But in our hearts you are always there,
The gates of memory will never close,
We miss you more than anyone knows,
With tender love and deep regret,
We who love you will never forget.

God knows how much I miss you,
Never shall your memory fade,
Loving thoughts shall ever wander,
To the spot where you are laid.
Though absent you are ever near,
Still missed and loved, always dear.

It's hard to believe
You are no longer here,
We think of you,
You feel so near,
In some small way, every single day,
Memories of you come our way.

Years fly by like autumn leaves,
But heartache and tears remain,
All I have left is precious memories
Of you, for today, for tomorrow,
And until my life is through.

A page in the book of memory,
Silently turns today.
We remember you in silence,
And make no outward show.
And what it meant to lose you,
No one will ever know.

This day is remembered and quietly kept,
No words are needed, we shall never forget,
For those we love don't go away,
They walk beside us every day.
Unseen and unheard, but always near,
So loved, so missed, and so very dear.

Sad was the parting, no one can tell,
So sudden on earth the sorrow fell;
The blow was hard, the shock severe,
To part with one I loved so dear.
Dearer still as years depart
His memory lives within my heart.

Gone is the face we loved so dear
Silent is the face we loved to hear.
Too far away for sight or speech,
But not too far for thought to reach,
Sweet to remember him once here,
Who, though absent, is just as dear.

In all the world we shall not find
A heart so wonderfully kind,
So soft a voice, so sweet a smile,
Inspiration worthwhile;
A sympathy so sure, so deep
A love so beautiful to keep.

Months have grown day by day,
It’s now 25 years since he went away,
Thoughts are full and hearts do weigh,
Without him here to share the way,
Time may dull the hand of fate,
Memory forever recalls the date.

24 Years Dad since you went away

Each day we think about you
And realise you have gone,
We can't explain the emptiness
That life has now become.
They say that time's a healer,
But we are not too sure,
For every time we think of you
We miss you more and more.


When we are in need of comfort
We walk down memory lane,
There we see you smiling
We talk with you again,
And as we wander slowly back
We seem to hear you say
Don't grieve. don't cry, my family,
We'll meet again some day.

Love and Miss you so much
Love Dawn xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAD X

A beautiful memory, dearer than gold,
Of a father whose worth can never be told,
There's a place in my heart no one can fill,
I miss you, Dad, and always will.

I never ask for miracles,
But today just one would do,
To see the front door open and
See our Dad walk through.

We miss his smile, his kindly ways,
With him we spent some happy days;
We'll miss him when we need a friend,
On him we always could depend.
If only he were here today
Then this to him we could say,
God bless you, Dad, on your birthday.
Have fun in Heaven.
Love & Miss you loads xxxxxxxxx

Happy Fathers Day Dad

When I think of all the things you did,
The ways in which you cared,
I'm filled with a sense of gratitude
And peace that's always there.
I seldom take time to tell you
That I'm happy you're my Dad,
So I'll tell you now what's in my heart-
You're the best that I could ever have had.

God knows how much I miss you,
Never shall your memory fade,
Loving thoughts shall ever wander,
To the spot where you are laid.
Though absent you are ever near,
Still missed and loved, always dear

i saw this for my dad and shared it with you..we will see them again one day with love xx

Thank You For The Angel
You Lent Us For Awhile
He Brought Us Laughter
And An Everlasting Smile
He Loved Us, Inspired Us
Our Own Guiding Light
Now He Shines In Heaven
With Wings Of Pure White
He Will Forever Walk Softly
In Our Hearts And In Our Dreams
When Our Feelings Run Rampant
And Our Tears Begin To Fall
His Spirit Will Surround Us
Lending Comfort To One And All
We Will Always Miss Him
Time Can Not Erase The Pain
Yet, We Will Always Be Grateful
That Into Our Lives....
.... Our 'Precious Dad' Came

Do you know our pain?
Do you know our hearts are breaking?

Our childhood years with fun and games.
Our adult lives sometimes brought pain.

You weren't there when you were needed.
Having you here was all we wanted.

Now you're gone and we're still here.
We'll miss you more each passing year.

Our hearts are heavy filled with pain.
Life will never be the same.

We saw a rainbow bright and clear.
We hope that means you're staying near.

If we could have just one more day.
We'd tell you all we didn't say.

We'd tell you how we love you dear.
And how we wish that you were here.
