Oh,
Dad,
why
did
you
have
to
leave
us
this
way?
The
news
came
calling
on
the
twenty-first
of
June
The
world
stood
still,
the
shadows
entered
in
the
room
I
haven't
been
myself,
the
silence
feels
so
cold
Trading
all
my
comfort
for
a
grief
that
won't
grow
old
They
say
you’
re
in
a
better
place,
resting
by
the
Throne
But
here
within
these
walls,
we’
re
feeling
so
alone
Oh,
Dad,
why
did
you
have
to
leave
us
this
way?
We’
re
counting
down
the
seconds
of
every
lonely
day
Mom
is
missing
you,
her
heart
is
broken
wide
We’
re
walking
through
the
valley
with
nowhere
left
to
hide
I
love
you,
Father,
you’
re
the
man
of
peace
Praying
for
this
heavy
burden
to
find
some
release
We
had
an
agreement,
you
promised
December
light
You
said
you’
d
be
there
waiting
to
make
the
future
bright
But
now
the
chairs
are
empty,
the
laughter’
s
turned
to
tears
I’
m
trying
to
find
the
strength
to
face
all
these
coming
years
Your
daughters
and
your
sons,
we’
re
reaching
for
your
hand
Trying
to
understand
a
plan
that
we
cannot
command
Oh,
Dad,
why
did
you
have
to
leave
us
this
way?
We’
re
counting
down
the
seconds
of
every
lonely
day
Mom
is
missing
you,
her
heart
is
broken
wide
We’
re
walking
through
the
valley
with
nowhere
left
to
hide
I
love
you,
Father,
you’
re
the
man
of
peace
Praying
for
this
heavy
burden
to
find
some
release
Your
grandchildren
are
asking
where
their
hero
has
gone
We
hold
onto
the
memories
to
help
us
carry
on
I
know
you’
re
with
your
Creator,
safe
and
free
from
pain
But
goodness,
Father,
I
just
want
to
see
you
once
again
Yes
Lord,
comfort
us
today
So
watch
over
us
from
heaven,
be
our
guiding
light
Help
us
find
our
footing
in
the
middle
of
the
night
You’
ll
forever
be
in
memory,
etched
upon
our
souls
Even
when
the
pieces
don’
t
feel
like
they’
ll
be
whole
Rest
easy,
Daddy,
until
we
meet
above
Surrounded
by
the
glory
and
the
everlasting
love
Oh,
Dad,
why
did
you
have
to
leave
us
this
way?
We’
re
counting
down
the
seconds
of
every
lonely
day
Mom
is
missing
you,
her
heart
is
broken
wide
We’
re
walking
through
the

with

I
love
you,
Father,
you’
re
the
man
of
peace
Praying
for
this
heavy
burden
to
find
some
release
Rest
easy,
Dad,
sleep
in
heavenly
peace
We
miss
you
so
much,
thank
You
Jesus
for
his
life
Hallelujah,
we’
ll
meet
again
Amen
