| His Love Lives On ~ In Memory ~ Robert Martin Thomas (Pappy) May 12th, 1940 - September 16, 2005 |
| An angel leaves us on this day
On golden wings he flew away To watch over us from up above And shine down upon us with his love Although we're sad to see him go His release from pain sustains us so The battle this life waged on him Was one at last he could not win He'd fought so hard for all his days Thinking, Please don't take me, I want to stay To watch my son's new family grow They need me here God, don't you know? On his last night, I watched him sleep And struggle from his heart so deep I held his hand to keep it still And prayed, God, give him peace if that's your will And somewhere in that night alone Angels came to take him home Please come with us, we need you there They'll be alright, you need not fear So silently he slipped away But, at first, he had to say I must always watch over them day and night, till we meet again The angels, they did comfort him You will be with them both now and then Your blue, blue, eyes will be their sky When they look up they'll know you're nearby The sun will rise and shine on them And warm their gentle hearts within A hug from you is what they'll feel And know that you are with them still When the moon, its face does show And bathe them with its gentle glow That will be your kiss goodnight They'll know you guard them and all is right So with that, Dad felt he could go The peace he'd found, it filled his soul Now he knew he'd still be here To shower us with all his care So we shall never say goodbye We'll count the teardrops that we cry We'll feel him with us from dawn to dawn In each new day his love lives on |
