DEAR DADDY:
A Travelor Coming Home
A traveler ventred forth one day
Upon a long and winding road
With faith and trust to lead the way,
With strength and will to bear his load.
And at a slow but steady pace,
In cold of storm, in the warmth of sun,
He journeyed on from place to place
And gained some value from each one.
Until at last one quiet night,
He climbed a hill's soft-rounding crest
And saw afar a single light
That seemed to promise peace and rest.
And following its glow, he came
Upon the house in which it shone.
A voice inside called out his name
And told him he was truly home.
Now all of us must travel, too--
Like his, our paths wind slowly on,
And surely when the course is through,
A welcome comfort waits beyond.
May we believe that sweet content
Is earned by all those miles passed,
And never doubt each traveler's meant
To reach a loving home at last.
May you find comfort knowing that your loved one
is home at last...
and that one day you'll meet again.
I love you with all my heart and miss you everyday daddy.
May you rest in peace.
Anita

Dad RIP
You no longer have to suffer
You will be greatly missed
When I work on cars,electric, or go for a ride on motorcycle
I will always remember and think of you
You taught me so much
But those where the things we did together
I will always Love and Miss You
