  DAD..so many images come to mind whenever I speak your name; It seems without you in my life things have never been the same.  What happened to those lazy days when I was just a child; When my life was consumed in you in your love, and in your smile.  What happened to all those times when I always looked to you; No matter what happened in my life you could make my gray skies blue.  Dad, some days I hear your voice and turn to see your face; Yet in my turning...it seems the sound has been erased.  Dad, who will I turn to for answers when life does not make sense; who will be there for to hold me close when the pieces just don't fit.  Oh, Dad, if I could turn back time and once more hear your voice; I'd tell you that out of all the dads you would still be my choice.  Please always know I love you and no one can take your place; Years may come and go but your memory will never be erased.  Today, Jesus, as You are listening in your home above; Would you go and find my dad and give him all my love.
