Dad,
I'm coming to meet you soon.
My life here will come to an end.
Though I suffer now, my hope remains,
For I feel the love you always send.
Son,
I long for you to be with me where I am.
Your faith and endurance will be a light.
Hold on to trust, rest in my love and hope,
For you are most precious in my sight.
Dad,
Though I know I must soon leave,
It will be hardest on those left behind,
So I ask, now, be with those who will grieve.
Comfort those who will shed tears of pain.
Son,
I am the God of all comfort and strength.
Your request will be answered with love.
Your loved ones will abide in me; they are mine.
I will send hope and healing from above.
Dad,
I thank you with honor and praise.
All of my life you have given to me.
I am filled with joy that I know you.
Because of your son, I know I am free.
Son,
Come home to me soon, I am waiting.
All who are with me long to see you.
We will greet you when you come here.
You shall be honored for being faithful and true.

Just Beautiful
This is just beautiful. I loved this poem. The conversation between Pete and our Father God in which you referred to as dad!! His dad is in Heaven too. This is just a beautiful hopeful and uplifting poem. This was very refreshing to read and full of truth. I loved it and felt it was very creative. Thank you for your loving compassion. Many will be blessed by your poem here. Thank you for entering and best of luck in the contest.
Many Blessings
Much Love
