I lost my father last week to a six month illness. He suffered greatly the last two. I wrote this just as a statement of my belief. I don't see it as a finality only a respite. He deserves the peace I believe he found and all the love, joy and happiness that will shower him. No more suffering!!..
Mansion in Heaven
He had suffered so
He built many bridges
to carry us across
Now we had to carry him
to his resting place
Yet he was not there
He had already flown
He had taught us the cowboy way
riding our horses across the grassy plains
He taught us to turn the soil
to sow our seed
Our harvest was usually exceptional
He had taught us that way
of sweat and blood
We owed him our respect
as he respected us
My brother and I
buried our Father today
Now he had a mansion
far away in heavens kingdom
An angel showed him the way
So he had flown
