Poet: D. Jaques
Father - a name forever dear -
Held in affection's spell:
They who have known a Father's care,
The loss can only tell!
My father! - thou wast far away
When I presaged thy death;
Had I been there thy frame to stay
And watch thy passing- breath!
The tidings came - and then to me,
The charms of life were o'er!
My father, when deprived of thee,
The world could charm no more!
The die was cast - and I must bear
What orphans only know!
A. father's love no more to share,
Exposed to every woe!
My father, since I saw thee last,
Oft I have wept in vain:
For life has roughly with me past;
But we shall meet again!
There in that bright and happy place,
With joys forever blest,
Where tears are chased from every face,
We shall forever rest.
Poet: C. A. Lynch
I know where you are Dad
In heaven and for that I am glad
But oh I will miss you so
Losing you is a blow.
I am grateful for the years we had
Even the times when you made me mad
The laughter and the memories I'll treasure
No one will ever measure.
Even though you are not here
I feel like you are near.
Watching over me from above
Always surrounding me with love.
You will always be in my heart
Even though we are apart
You have left a legacy in me
I will make you proud as can be.
And in God's timing, I will see
You again, and I will be so happy.
Miss you Dad, and love you more
You're in heaven that's for sure.

Poet: C. A. Lynch
This day to our loving Dad, goodbye we say
We will see him again in Heaven someday.
Our Dad was a steady hand, his love for us never strayed.
He was our source of strength to guide us along the way.
The love he shared so long and true,
His prayers blessed us through and through.
Farewell my Dad we will miss you so,
We know your presence will make Heaven glow.
Poet: H. Bonar
From this bleak hill of storms,
To yon warm, sunny heights,
Where love forever shines.
Pass over to thy rest,
The rest of God!
From hunger and from thirst.
From toil and weariness,
From shadows and from dreams,
Pass over to thy rest.
The rest of God!
From weakness and from pain.
From trembling and from strife.
From watching and from fears,
Pass over to thy rest.
The rest of God!
From vanity and lies,
From mockery and snares,
From disappointed hopes.
Pass over to thy rest,
The rest of God!
From unrealities,
From hollow scenes of change,
From ache and emptiness,
Pass over to thy rest,
The rest of God!
From this unanchored world.
Whose morrow none can tell.
From all things restless here,
Pass over to thy rest,
The rest of God!

Poet: C. A. Lynch
Dad, I miss you more than I can say
Your smile brightened up my everyday
But now you're gone and the pain won't fade,
I'll cherish your memories and everything you've made
The world feels darker without your light
Rest easy in eternal rest tonight.
I love you, Dad.
Poet: C. A. Lynch
My dad was a blessing to me
His joy and love set my heart free
He taught me values and so much more
Giving positive influence for what life has in store.
It's sad he is no longer here with us today
His memory lives on in our hearts always.
But I'm comforted knowing we'll meet once again
In heaven, one day we will ascend.
