CLOSE YOU EYES March 3, 2003
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 lives 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 the pain and suffering, you will be free.
You have fought the good fight with all of your being,
But now the 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 both tears of 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 miss you dearly,
But soon we will be united on the other side.
Close your eyes, Dad, and look with your heart,
For here comes the angels and to your new home they will guide.
