My Dad

Somewhere close by,
I hear someone cry.
But I hold my tears,
As his coffin disappears.
I hear is voice in my heart,
He tells me he knows we're apart.
He would say be happy on this great day,
Everything is going to be okay.
I know he doesn't want me to be sad,
But after all he was my dad.
I know my father is looking down,
My heart begins to pound.
Thinking of what he would say to me.
Positive thinking is the key.
I miss him more than words can say,
As I remember loving him every day.
I can hear his voice in my heart,
Don't cry for me, I know we are apart,
If I could only see him for a while,
Just seeing his face would give me an everlasting smile.
