Dads poem
Let there be no rage against the dying of the light
For I was able to go gently into the goodnight
Though wise men at their end know dark is right
I held on as long as I could and tried to fight
Grave men, near death, who see with blinding sight
Cherish their loved ones, memories and hold them tight

I lived a great life and wouldn't change it any other way
But I could not stay for another day
To laugh, to love, to work or play
My soul is now in heaven, do not dismay

Be not burdened with times of sorrow
I wish you the sunrise and prosperity of tomorrow
Perhaps my time seemed all too brief
But dont fill yours with sadness and grief

May the good Lord have mercy on my soul
And provide you with peace and comfort
I was set free and write to condole
The lightening strikes, and the thunder rolls

Ill send pennies down below
To comfort you and let you know
You are loved and watched over too
Cherish our memories, dont be blue

For I will always be with you
An angel in the sky
Watching over you
Being your guiding eye

I love you, ❤️ good night.

Ecclesiastes 12:7
and the dust returns to the ground it came from, and the spirit returns to God who gave it.
