Father, do you hear me? Can I say my last goodbye?
I know you’ve gone to heaven and you hear from way up high
I never got to thank you for the life we had together
But those moments I will cherish from now until forever
Daddy you were dear to me and I will not forget
You picked me up when I was small, never with regret
You held my hand and kept me safe from trouble and from harm
And put a smile upon my face, simply with your charm
I know we had our ups and downs but never did you stray
You were always there for me each and every day
No matter what I said or did you kept me close to heart
I never thought there would come a day when we would be apart
I never got to tell you just how grateful I have been
I never got to share with you the joy my life has seen
I never got to say the words I keep down deep inside
But daddy know I love you and I’m sad now that you’ve died
I know you’re looking out for me, you’ll watch me everyday
I know you’ll guide me through my life in each and every way
So father, do you hear me, can I say my last goodbye
I love you and I miss you, can you hear me way up high

A poignant and beautiful goodbye.

This poem is wonderful, this is exactly how I feel now. Wanting to say goodbye, not sure if I dare for then it will be real but yet I miss him so and yesterday I stood in the window until the dark came, looking for his car driving up the road, looking for him.
He was supposed to return yesterday, but I am still waiting on him. And I will forever do so.
Thank you for your care and thoughts, many blessings.
