Father (RIP 3/5/13)
I used to have a father
Who would call me "ba-ba".
I used to have a father
Who said I couldn't "la-la"
I used to have a father
Who was an excellent role model
I used to have a father
Who if wasn't sure about something, his hand would just wobble
I used to have a father
Who could do many things
But now I have a father
Who has many gold rings
Now I have a father
Who is rich beyond compare
And now I have a father
Who has really nice clothes to wear
Now I have a father
Who can always see the sun
And doesn't have to take no stuff
From anything or anyone
Now I have a father
Who is finally with his father
And they live as happy as can be
But the only thing
That downs all these things
Is what he looks down and sees
He sees crying
He sees sighing
He sees sadness
He seems madness
Yet the only thing he wants to see
Is all of us, smiling at the memories
He knows it's hard
But this is how it went
I know he wished that this event
Happened later in time
So we could easily admit
That he had a good run
And a life well spent
But we know he's okay
He's made a new friend
We all know who it is
But I love to say his name
Jesus...
And one day
He'll be our friend, too.
