A Cherished Moment
I remember a sparkle in his eyes
A sparkle with happiness.
I remember a laugh
Fun and Inviting.
I remember his voice
Calm and Assuring.
I remember his helping hand
As i floated on top of the water.
I remember a smile
Warm

I pray for comfort for all those who held my father dear to their hearts. For those who were able to hold his hand and feel his warmth. Who were able to wake up and look him full in the face and appreciate his presence. For we will always have a place in our hearts to REMEMBER. May the Lord Bless You All!
