THE ETERNAL LIFE OF ONE

In you I feel a soul that’s alive
Flowing like a river inside
And when I’m calling to you through space and time

Your body of light is burning bright
Within you is a world of desire
And when you’re reaching for me to see you through.
My heart will be there for you.

There is in everyone, a deeper sense of being

Dad,
Your love for life will always live on through your family. As I walk this earth without you, I know that your spirit lives on in me and is the wind beneath my wings...till we fly together again Dad

Wear no forced air of solemnity or sorrow.

Laugh as we always laughed
at the little jokes we enjoyed together.
Play, smile, think of me, pray for me.
Let my name be ever...
