DEATH OF DAD

DEATH OF DAD

WHEN MY DADDY DIED
I CRIED AND CRIED
I THOUGHT OH MY GOD,
"I THOUGHT MY DADDY WOULD NEVER DIE!"
I MOURNED AND I MOURNED
AND MOURNED AGAIN
I STILL MOURN TIME AND TIME AGAIN
WHEN WILL I NOT MOURN AGAIN?
NEVER, I SUPPOSE
EVEN WHEN MOURNING HIS DEATH
IS WITH THE RESURRECTION OF HIS FLESH ?

I HAVE LEARNED TO CALL HIM MY EARTHLY FATHER
BECAUSE I ALREADY HAD A HEAVENLY FATHER
ONE WHO HAS BLESSED ME ALL MY LIFE
HAS FREED ME FROM YET DEATH AND STRIFE
AND WILL CONTINUE TO BLESS ME
WITH THE ABILITY
TO MOURN THE DEATH OF DAD I PRAY
NOT WITH ANYTHING BAD I PRAY, I PRAY
NOT IN VAIN OR FILLED WITH PAIN TODAY
ABOUT THE DEATH OF MY DAD: I PRAY.

ANOTHER YEAR HAS COME AND GONE
I PRAY I'M STILL CLOSE UNTO THE LORD'S THRONE
AND SO IS MY DAD; MY EARTHLY FATHER
MAYBE A FEW REGRETS HE HAS THAT IS A BOTHER
UNTO HIS SOUL NOT ALWAYS ANOTHER
AND IS NOW MORE THAN EVER A BETTER BROTHER
A BROTHER OF THE TRUE FAITH; THE GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST
AND HE ALSO IS SET FREE FROM THE SECOND DEATH AND STRIFE
WILL ALSO HAVE IMMORTALITY AND ETERNAL LIFE
ALONG WITH MY MOTHER, LOIS, AND I ALSO CAN HAVE MORE JOY
WITH HER AND WHAT WERE HER LITTLE BOYS
ALSO ABOUT THE BLESSINGS FROM ON HIGH
WHERE THE HOLY ANGELS LEARN TO FLY
WHERE THE GODS IN AND OF ISRAEL WILL NEVER DIE
I PRAY FOR ANOTHER TIME ANOTHER DAY
TO PRAY ALWAYS TO ALWAYS PRAY
THAT THE GOOD LORD JESUS WILL BLESS ME MORE THIS WAY
THAT I CAN PRAY MORE AND EVEN MORE ALONG WITH HEAVEN TODAY...........
