My life has been cut short
But my love will always last.
My sweet Shari,
You will add to my face many smiles,
No matter how many miles.
Distance cannot keep us apart,
Just look in your heart.
Lil Craig,
My boy I won't be sitting with you,
Video game control in hand and all,
But I will be there to pick you up
If you stumble and fall.
My little angel, Chyla,
You are only five with life ahead of you,
Making each day count.
You have given me something in those five years,
That my child can eleminate a father's fears.
My big boy, Connar,
Altough you won't see me in flesh,
I will be there as you play,
Even when you resign at night to lay,
And in difficult times,
I will hold your hands if you stray.
My baby girl Erika,
So short our time has been,
But I will never forget what we have shared,
For your laughter will fill my heart with cheer.
My sweet five babies,
Just remember the next time you see a dove,
Daddy is sending all of his love,
From Heaven and the angels above.

Sweet poem to his children. Heartfelt. I hope that out of all these entries the children can grasp something to hang onto, each choosing their own message from their father that touches their heart.
