Pop's Said
Pop's Said!
The last thing Pop’s said to me.
Boy know that I love you and meant you no harm
Wish you were here boy with everyone else
Instead of locked up in that man made hell
If you were here I’d drop all that phony pride
I’d take you in my arms and together we would cry
It hurts so bad to have to say good bye
But son, my time is up and I must go home
I apologize to you for things I done wrong
It was never my intent to hurt you,
Misuse you or treat you bad
Leaving you son makes me very sad.
I don’t want you to grieve for me,
When I am gone,
I am sorry I won’t be around when you come home
And we’ll never again speak on the telephone
So I take this time to say I love you son before I go home
Just know the Lord has made me free
At last I am out of all that misery.
I'm following the path God laid for me.
And up here I am cancer free
Son, I took God’s hand when I heard him call
I turned my back and left it all.
I could not stay another day
To laugh, to love, to work or play.
Tasks left undone must stay that way,
I found that peace at the close of day.
If my parting has left a void in your heart
Then fill it with remembering joy that we shared
Of times when it was just you and me
Of friendship shared just you and I
Remember the good times that we had
When you was just a little boy
I’d come get you bringing with me some sort of toy
And we would go
To the park and out the door
As you ran and laughed while my old road dog.
And I drank a beer or two.
Son these things I too shall miss.
Be not burdened with times of sorrow
I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow.
My life's been full,
My life has been rich
I've savored a life so full and rich
Filled with good friends,
Good times and so many love ones alone
The way. Just know son I love you
And from you I do not desire to go away
But to stay here is to suffer and lie in pain
For cancer has covered me from the tip of my toes
As it spread to my brain.
All that’s left is a shell of my remains.
Perhaps my time seemed all too brief
Don't lengthen it now with undue grief.
Lift up your hearts, peace to thee –
God wanted me now; He set me free…. Good bye my son
Until Heavens you come.
Riding on the wings of an angel’s arms.
Love ya
Dad
