Thank You for staying with us today,
Because yesterday You took dad away,
Our family is a sorrowful mess,
Yes, we know ~ He had to rest,
Knowing this doesn’t help the fact,
That we all want our dad back,
You gave to us ~ The very best father,
And he was loved by his sons and daughters,
He was always there to pick us up,
No matter why ~ He was there for us,
Even as grown up kids,
Dad was dad ~ In all that he did,
We had lots of years with our dad,
Yet, not enough time could be had,
Now, he’s with You ~ We are sure,
And this pain we must endure,
But, our dad is no longer in pain,
Because being with You ~ Is his gain,
God, please tell him ~ "We miss him so,
That we never wanted to let him go,
We will carry him with us everyday,
Keeping him near ~ In our own way,
Dad is gone ~ We still have mom,
It’s her faith keeping our family strong"
Please let him look down on us and know,
Our Family Decree ~ Was born from his soul.

Amen

Carl Poole

Dear God,

Thank You for staying with us today,
Because yesterday You took dad away,
Our family is a sorrowful mess,
Yes, we know ~ He had to rest,
Knowing this doesn’t help the fact,
That we all want our dad back,
You gave to us ~ The very best father,
And he was loved by his sons and daughters,
He was always there to pick us up,
No matter why ~ He was there for us,
Even as grown up kids,
Dad was dad ~ In all that he did,
We had lots of years with our dad,
Yet, not enough time could be had,
Now, he’s with You ~ We are sure,
And this pain we must endure,
But, our dad is no longer in pain,
Because being with You ~ Is his gain,
God, please tell him ~ "We miss him so,
That we never wanted to let him go,

Keeping him near ~ In our own way,

Please let him look down on us and know,
Our Family Decree ~ Was born from his soul.

Amen
