Daddy…..
When I hear a harmonica play… I think of you.
When I see a baby bouncing on a knee… I think of you.
When I smell Old Spice … I think of you.
When I see a man in Green work pants… I think of you.
When I sing “What a friend we have in Jesus”… I think of you.
When I see a summer garden… I think of you.
When I see a man with Very Sky Blue Eyes… I think of you.
When I hear a mockingbird sing… I think of you.
When I see Blue Hydrangea… I think of you.
When I see my Brothers… I think of you.
When I sing about heaven… I think of you.
Even though it’s been over 40 years since your beautiful blue eyes closed and you went to sleep here and woke up in heaven… I know that I will see you again. It will be the greatest joy of my life to embrace you … O Father of mine…You would not chosen to leave us so quickly… but I know with all my heart that you wouldn’t want to come back.
Until then… I’ll serve the Lord with gladness, knowing that you are in his presence. I often wonder if you are allowed to see whats going on down here… to look down upon this earth like the angels do and if you go to God about us. I like to believe that you do. The protection on our family has been so evident to me… I praise God for his love for us and for sending his own Son, Jesus to die for our sins so that we can spend eternity together.
Since there is no concept of time in heaven… it will seem like yesterday since we have been together…I look forward to that blessed day! O Happy Day!~
