If time exists in heaven,
Do you continue to rise with the solar?
Do you and Mother share breakfast
Earlier than your day has begun?
Can the heavens hear your laughter
As you sit and reminisce
In regards to the time we had collectively
And different individuals that you simply miss?
And Daddy, do you continue to take walks
Alongside heaven’s seas?
And whenever you gaze upon the surf,
Do you keep in mind walks with me?
Are your standing with these courageous younger males
Upon its excellent shores?
Lastly by their sides once more,
Your comrades from the struggle.
Do you collect with your loved ones
Beneath heaven’s glow?
And gaze upon these mountains nonetheless
That when you referred to as your own home.
Is music throughout you,
All these songs you held so expensive?
Do you and Mother nonetheless sing collectively,
The best way you probably did whenever you had been right here?
Do you ever have lengthy talks with God
About these left behind?
Do you inform him all of the tales
Of all our grand and treasured occasions?
I feel that heaven have to be grateful
To have you ever there every day,
To deliver your simple laughter
And your foolish sense of play.
And I am certain that God already is aware of
The particular father you had been
And the way I want that you simply had been right here
To information my method once more.
However I carry you inside my coronary heart.
You might be by no means removed from me.
I see you in my smile
And in who I grew to be.
And I am certain that on this Father’s Day
God will enable you have a good time
All these dads who modified the world with love.
What a celebration that may make!
