To My Husband) My Blessing In Life & Death
When we were young and newly married)! thought this the meaning that True Love carried: Presents of
perfume) candy and flowers) Lacey Valentines and dream castle towers. But I have learned as our love matures. That there)s more to lasting love like ours: Caring for babies and sharing the flu) Remembering to say that I love you.
It)s nice to know) after all this time) even in death) you)re still my special Valentine.
Every morning I would wake and see) the most handsome man lying next to me. He)s the one I cherish and love) a blessing sent from Heaven above. I loved him as afaithful wife should) and did everything for him that I could. Until we meet again my sweet love) in Heaven ) your new home) you will await here. Your love still reaches me) so very jar away) And my love for you grows stronger by the day.
It )s nice to know) after all this time) even in death) you)re still my special Valentine.
Five Minutes If I only had five minutes the day you passed away, I would have had time to tell you all the things I needed to say. I never got to tell you how much you mean to me, Or that you were the best dad, better than any man could be. The last time that I talked to you, I wish I would have known. I would have said I love you, and kept you on the phone. If I only had five minutes, the morning you passed away, I'd give you one last hug so tight and see your great big smile. I'd tell you that I don't think I could live without you, not even for awhile. I'd kiss your cheek and take your hand and tell you it's okay to go. And tell you that I'll miss you, more than you'll ever know. But you were gone so quickly, One last car ride you'd take. Before you even knew it, you were standing at heavens gate. Now God has called upon you, It's time to get your wings. To leave this life behind you, And enjoy all of heavens beautiful things. So wait for me in heaven Dad, don't let me come alone. The day the angels come for me, please be there to bring me home.
Love you Dad! -Kesha
