A Poem I wrote for my Dad a while back...

There is a sadness in my chest
That will not go away,
My heart is aching for release
That will not come today.

And though I long to see you
I know you stand complete,
The joys you had here on the Earth
Dare not even compete.

I know this burden's mine to bear
And that your burden's gone,
It's swallowed up in victory
In Jesus Christ alone.

In Jesus I will place my trust
Though I don't understand,
So breathe now Daddy, breathe in deep
You're home in Jesus' hands
