Father's Day From Above

Daddy,

I can't get you anything for the first Father's Day since my birth and crowning. I hope this poem will do. I don't think you'll ever understand just how much I love you. You're a wonderful father and not to just me but also to my brothers and sister. I really can't wait until we are all together again. I love you, daddy.
Love Always,
Lydia

A little while, and ye shall not see me: and again, a little while, and ye shall see me, because I go to the Father.
John 16:16
Happy Father's Day Daddy From Above
Daddy I love you so much
I watch you all the time up here
I see how much you miss me
Daddy, please just know I'm always near
Daddy, please don't cry today
You'll make me so sad
Today is Father's day
And you should be glad
You loved me from the very beginning
I could tell that too
The way you gently talked to me
In everything that you'd do
I'm so thankful for what mommy and you did
You gave me life and a short while later gave me back to God
I didn't want to leave you, daddy
But I knew what I had to do so through the Pearly Gates I trod
Please be strong for mommy
She's still have a really hard time
We'll be together again soon
Just all in due time
Don't blame yourself, daddy
There was nothing you could do
I'm so happy here in Heaven
And one day mommy and you will too
So when you see purple (Lydia), think of me
So when you see a Rose, think of me
This way no matter where you are
There I'll always be

Love, Lydia Rose


This is the poem that I wrote for my hubby for Father's Day. I put her pictures all around it and put it in a picture frame. He really liked it. I don't profess to be a poet but he said it was really good. I cried the entire time writing it. For Father's Day it was all about daddy. We fished like the entire day. He had a blast. Thank the Lod for the fun-filled day.

A Poem from Lydia's great grandmother






SAVING YOU A PLACE

For almost nine months, I lived with my Mom and Dad...
My home was just below my Mom's heart, I shared all the love they had...
So many times, I felt all their hands as I moved about...
As they felt me turn an move, so happy they would shout...

Little hands and small voices, could it possibly be?
Two big brothers and a sister, waiting for me...
As I slept, Mothers hands were always there...
So busy was she, but always time to share...

As Mother worked...she was so protective of me...
She watched me grow, a better Mom you'll never see!
They made me a place to share their world...
Never mattered who I'd turn out to be...even another girl!

Then the time to join my happy parents you see...
Of all the hugs and kisses...just for me!
As I opened my eyes and gave them a smile, I felt like a Princess for awhile.

Hours were passing too quickly, as I heard a voice...
My Heavenly Father was calling...I knew I had no choice...
God needs an ANGEL and I must do my share...
A home for my family...I must also prepare...

Mom and Dad, my final journey came so soon...
Jesus was busy preparing me room...
When it was time...I had to go...I could not stay...
OH!  How you all tugged at my heart, as God prepared my way...

He promised we would all be together and share a Heavenly home...
The beauty of our place...will make all of you want to come...
So please don't cry...and never be sad!
I am with our Saviour, Mom!  He is so glad!

He will always hold my hand and hug me tight...
Watch over me, Dad, both day and night...
The greatest substitute, for my Mother and Dad...
You'll see one day our beautiful home...the prettiest we ever had!

I'll never be sick, and never be alone,
So when you are ready, I'll show you our home...
I must be at my angel work, and wait patiently for
you all as you finish your earthly chores...
When we together will discover the happiness, God has for us in store...

OH!  Mom and Dad...I love my name...
Lydia Rose, in Heaven is the same...
As you look up... You'll see me smile...
For I'm sure you'll all join me...after awhile...

I love you all so, Lydia Rose

I thought this was such a pretty poem and it really means a lot to me.  However, it makes me cry while reading it and even more so when typing it. 
Thanks Grandma for the beautiful poem.
