Dear Dad

I thought of you with love today, but that is nothing new
I thought about you yesterday, and the day before that too
I think of you in silence, I often say your name
But all I have is memories and your picture in a frame
Your memory is my keepsake, with which I´ll never part
God have you in his keeping, I have you in my heart
I shed tears of what might have been, a million times I´ve cried
If love alone could have saved you, you never would haved died
In life I loved you dearly, in death I love you still
In my heart you hold a place no one could ever fill
It broke my heart to loose you, but you didn´t go alone
For part of me went with you, the day God took you home
