Never Ready to Say Goodbye Were never ready to say goodbye To someone we hold dear. If it were up to us, dear Dad, Wed always keep you here. But God has reasons of His own And plans we cannot know, And these are always for our good, Though it may seem not so. Our arms are empty and our hearts Are filled with tears and grief, For we who loved each day with you, Now find those days too brief. Yet if we could only heaven see, Wed know youre happy there, And we would never call you back When such great joy you share. And so well trust you to Gods great care And know some day, once more, Well hold you to our hearts again When we reach heavens shore. (Poem by Saralyn Smith) used with permission PENNY I found a penny today Just laying on the ground, But its not just a penny This little coin Ive found. Found pennies come from heaven Thats what my Grandpa told me, He said Angels toss them down Oh, how I loved that story. He said when an Angel misses you They toss a penny down, Sometimes just to cheer you up To make a smile out of your frown So dont pass by that penny When youre feeling blue, It may be a penny from heaven That an Angels tossed to you What Makes A Dad A Dad is a person who is loving and kind, And often he knows what you have on your mind. Hes someone who listens, suggests, and defends. A dad can be one of your very best friends! Hes proud of your triumphs, but when things go wrong, A dad can be patient and helpful and strong In all that you do, a dads love plays a part. Theres always a place for him deep in your heart. And each year that passes, youre even more glad, More grateful and proud just to call him your dad! Thank you, Dad... for listening and caring, for giving and sharing, but, especially, for just being you! We little knew that morning That God would call your name. In life we loved you dearly; In death we do the same. It broke our hearts to lose you, But you did not go alone, For part of us went with you The day God called you home. You left us beautiful memories, Your love is still our guide, And though we cannot see you, You are always by our side. Our family chain is broken And nothing seems the same, But as God calls us one by one, The chain will link again.
