Not Enough Time

The time we had, Dad,
Wasn't nearly enough
To pack in an entire
Lifetime of love.

There are so many questions
That I need answers to,
But now that you're gone
There's no way to ask you.

But there are still photos
To remember you by,
Each time I look at them,
I still want to cry.

They say grief is easier
to bear as time goes by,
But the doesn't stop me
from wondering why?

Why my dear, sweet dad
Was taken so soon,
When he was my guiding star,
My sun and my moon.

There are no answers
To a question like this,
So I'll cherish your memory,
And mourn the years we'll miss

Don't grieve for me, for now I'm free. 

I'm following the path God has laid, you see. 

I took His hand when I heard His call. 

I turned my back and left it all. 

I could not stay another day, 

To laugh, to love, to work or play. 

Tasks left undone must stay that way, 

I found the peace at the close of day.  

If my parting has left a void, 

Then fill it with remembered joys. 

A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss, 

yes, these things I too will miss.  

Be not burdened with times of sorrow. 

I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow. 

My life's been full, I savored much, 

Good friends, good times, a loved one's touch. 

Don't lengthen it now with undue grief. 

Lift up your hearts, and peace to thee. 

God wanted me now, 

He set me free
