Letting Go The angels gathered near your bed so very close to you for they knew the pain and suffering that you were going through I thought about so many things as i held tightly to your hand Oh, how I wished that you were strong and happy again But your eyes were looking homeward to the peace beyond the sky where jesus held his outstretched arms it was time to say goodbye I struggled with my selfish thoughts for i wanted you to stay so we could walk and talk again like we did just what felt like yesterday but jesus knew the answer and i knew i loved you so So I gave you life's greatest gift the gift of letting go I love you dad xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
