There is something I can never deny.
It's just that I love the 4th of July!
But, what does freedom really mean to me?
It means my spirit is "still" free!
I can worship God at the church of my choice.
With freedom of speech, I'll lift up my voice.
But, will there ever come a day:
When my freedom is taken away?
Without My Daddy
There is so much I wish to say
I think about you every day
I miss your laugh
I miss your smile
Neither lost nor forgotten...
I imagine them often
It just doesn’t seem real that you’re not around
I still look for you when I’m in town…
I’ll never forget on the 4th of July...
As I sat on the curb, tears filled my eyes….
I found myself looking for you…..
Until I realized what was true...
I will never again see your wave and your smile...
We won’t stand on the street and visit for a while…
No “how you doing Sis” with a big hug to follow….
No “what are you doing tonight” or “I’ll see ya tomorrow”…
All of these things, I cherish so dearly …
In my heart, I remember so clearly…
To make things worse…
Dad finally told me.
My birthday surprise he’d been withholding….
To pick me up and head to the beach…
A day with my “Dad” my little bro and me.
Instead….. on my birthday
I had just said good bye.
At your funeral, which was one day prior.
I still talk to you ...
I know you can hear me…
Today I spoke of you and before I finished my sentence….
I could feel your presence...
Then .. a coincidence, or was it a sign?
The song that reminds me of you began to play…
As If you knew I was thinking of you this day...
I smiled.. feeling you were there with me …
Again... I sat remembering…
Tears filled my eyes as I listened to the song.
But this time I accepted that you are gone.
one years later..
Seems like forever….
I’ve asked myself and I’ve talked to God…..
How could he take you away for so long?
The only answer that makes any sense is ….
You’re in God’s hands now…
As he planned
Watching us from above…
An Angel in heaven who will always be loved
