Alone I wipe my tears and wonder
Will there be a day I will not cry.
For you’re in every raindrop
That falls down from the sky.
I find you betwixt the pages
of a book we used to share.
In our favorite tea shop
You often took me there.
The fun we once had together
Now my hand you can not clasp.
Illness took you from us
Tore you from our grasp.
Always we’ll remember so
Daddy leave with no regret
For the love that you gave us
It taught us true respect.
Thank you, Ellen, for this beautiful tribute. I hope I can find it when the time comes that I really need it. And . . . I hope that I may find beautiful words too.
Peace, blessings & the memories that live on forever,
Sherrie
