In reading the tribute that Crowder posted about his dad I felt the same lump as I'm sure many here did. I was going to send this to him in p.m. but after reading so many more responses about others that had lost dads I decided to include it here. I didn't want to take away from the thread he posted, in so out of respect for him, I created this one. This is something I wrote. I hope it offers comfort to all that have lost Dads.
We came to this earth from the dirt and sod;
Born to our parents, through the hands of God,
Life is precious, cherished, and dear;
Our destiny determined, by what we do here,
Our hearts are heavy our spirits are dim;
He was a honorable man, to all that knew him,
You can see he will be missed by the tears on our face;
For he has made this world, a better place,
He lived life to its fullest from the time of his birth;
For to many he was thought of, as an angel on earth,
With the passing of time our hearts will mend;
He was husband, father, grandpa - and to so many, a friend,
We will remember him through pictures and things;
And the knowledge he is wearing, a halo and wings.
His body will be placed in the dirt and sod;
But his soul is resting, in the hands of God.
