The service is done
The tears shed
Ashes stowed
His final bed
Pride in my family
Not the least of which, Mom
Who honored my father
With dignified Calm
Standing Room Only
His life well represented
Laughter the keystone
Not a life lamented
Notes to be written
Soups to be made
We dreaded the after
But we’re no longer afraid
Of the space that is empty
His body departed
‘Cause his spirit is present
We are each lighter hearted
Remember my laughter
Remember my smile…
Remember my loving
Remember my style
I’ll forever be with you
To navigate the way
As you journey forward
I will help lead the way
You’ll never be alone
Nor should you feel sorrow
I’m forever in today
As I’ll always be tomorrow
Okay Dad…we’ll remember
