My Farewell for Daddy As I take the time, to reflect through the years Many sweet memories, could bring me to tears Like card games, Parcheesi, Tripoli & Park Place Playing in his sawdust, or feeling his hand on my face The HOURS at the table, helping homework get done, Fixing bicycles, playing tetherball, and pick-up-sticks were grand fun! But fewer things were more precious, or could make my heart soar Than Dancing with Daddy, across the living room floor! From the time I was little, standing on TOP of his feet He would twirl me around, in perfect time to the beat With his big hand holding mine, and his other on my back He would lead me & guide me, and keep me on track As I grew to full stature, all the steps I did learn - The Cha-Cha, the Polka, gentle waltzes & turns Across every dance floor, he gently showed me the way And as I look back now, I can see on THIS day.... That each piece of The Dance, impacted greatly my life As a daughter - a woman - a mom & a wife. The Love he imparted from his hand to mine His hand of Wisdom on my back, guided me strongly through time His footsteps of Integrity, impacted all of my ways And the Security in his arms, stabilized me all of my days. But the LORD tapped Dads shoulder, & put HIS Hand in mine And now HE guides me securely, in The Dance - until the time - When, by His merciful Love, & His Heart-filled Grace, He allows me once again, to see my dear Dad face-to-face. When it is my time to cross over, to that Heavenly Shore Hopefully living near Daddy, in the mansion next door, With joyful praise I will join the Eternal Glorious Throng And once again - Dance with Daddy - to Gods Heavenly Song!! I loved him dearly -- and will miss him greatly......
