there are just too many of these posts
Happy Birthday Dad. I find it amazing the entire time you were alive I always thought your birthday was on the 18th, it's sad how it wasn't until you are gone that I remember the actual day. I love you, and you have been with me every step of the way.
In tears I saw you sinking,
I watched you fade away.
You suffered much in silence,
you fought so hard to stay.
You faced your task with courage.
Your spirit did not bend,
and still you kept on fighting until the very end.
God saw you getting tired.
When a cure was not to be.
So he put his arms around you and whispered "come to me".
So when I saw you sleeping So peaceful, free from pain.
I could not wish you back
to suffer that again.
