Happy Birthday Dad

Happy Birthday Dad

Happy Birthday, Dad!

Together again,

In heaven with Mom,

If minds can delve where God desires us to,

You searched your whole life through,

Books upon books,

Philosophers,

The Bible,

You told me,

We talked,

Dear God, how we talked,

Every day!

(I on one end; you on the other; we met at the middle),

We muddled,

(I am listening to you now for these words),

“We found peace”,

You prayed every night,

I hear your voice,

Every day,

You were a strong man,

You had a voice,

I love you so much,

Talk to you soon.
