O B I T U A R Y
YOUR SPIRIT – A TRIBUTE TO MY FATHER
I know that no matter what You will always be with me. When life separates us
I’ll know it is only your soul
Saying goodbye to your body
But your spirit will be with me always.
When I see a bird chirping on a nearby branch I know it is you singing to me. When a butterfly brushes gently by me so care freely
I will know it is you a ssuring me you are free from pain.
When the gentle fragrance of a flower catches my attention
I know it is you reminding me
To appreciate the simple things in life.
When I hear the rain pitter patter against my windows sill
I will hear your words of wisdom
And will remember what you taught me so well Without rain flowers cannot bloom
Without life’s challenges I cannot grow strong.
When I look out to the sea
I will think of your endless love for your family. When I think of mountains, their majesty and magnificence
I will think of your courage for your country. No matter where I am
Your spirit will be beside me
For I know that no matter what You will always be with me.
