A FATHERS
LAMENT
Though your ashes
lay upon the ridge above our home, I sense your
spirit close by me in the valley here below. I feel
your gentle feathered touch upon my weary brow,
I here you whisper
tenderly, Dad I love you so.
The sun it still
rises at the start of each new day, And sets behind
that rocky ridge were your ashes lay. The daisies,
they still open with the morning light, And close
again so softly at the coming of the night. The birds
they are still singing in the branches as they
sway,
Will someone please tell those
birds my girl has gone away.
Then in meditation
I saw our Saviours’ light. In the centre was my
daughter bathed in Saviours’ light. I could see that
she was happy, oh what joy and peace.
For that brilliant light, that
holy light also shone on me.
Tonight I walk
beneath the stars gazing at the Southern
Cross, Perhaps our Creator put it there to remind us
of His loss. Now I’m at peace, oh Blessed peace. I
accept His will be done. For I have lost my
daughter,
Our Creator lost His son.
For
you Deb, love you forever Dad... |
