Dad, today is a day of mixed emotions,
For we are bringing you home for the final time.
You can close your eyes and rest in peace,
As we let you go to life divine.
You have touched our hearts and lives.
With a heart full of joy and love.
You have touched more hearts than you know,
And it is time to recieve your rewards in Heaven above.
We will miss you, Dad, all the days of our lives,
But we will take comfort in knowing where you will be.
And we will be thankful in knowing,
That from all the pain and suffering, you will be free.
You have fought the good fight with all your being,
But now your fight is over and victory is won.
Close your eyes, Dad, and let sleep come,
And we will be at your side until God's will is done.
We will hold your hand and serve your needs,
As tears of both sorrow and joy roll down our cheeks.
It won't be easy but we wouldn't have it any other way,
And for God's loving comfort we will seek.
We love you, Dad, and will dearly miss you,
But soon we'll be united on the other side.
Close your eyes, Dad, and look with your heart,
For here come the angels and to your new home they will guide.
A prayer from a loving Son,
Robert L Best
On 3-11-03 we brought my dad home from the hospital to die peacefully at home with the family. Early on that morning God laid this poem on my heart and I wrote it down. Later that night I seen my Dad looking up at the ceiling and I knew what he was seeing. And my last words to him were go with the angels dad. And with his hand in mine and looking in his eyes he gave up the spirit and took his last breath. I miss him dearly....
