I wish that I could talk to you,
about the last few days
To tell you all the memories
and what people have had to say
I wish that I could see you
the way you were before
I wish I could have been there
to open up the door
I wish you could have heard me
when I said "I'm on my way"
But time just wasn't on our side
that fateful dreaded day
I know that it was very close
to how you wanted to go
And that when you left it was because
God said, "It's time, come home"
I still go out and talk to you
so not to wake their sleep
But find myself just looking up
to the sky then at my feet
I know that you can hear me
every single word I say
Even though I don't hear your response
I do this every day
I will not stop until the day
that we can talk again
It's just because the other day
I lost my best of friends
I can't hold back the tears but I'm proud to call you Dad.
Catch ya later Pops... I miss you

Kathy and I are sorry for your loss. Larry was always upbeat and happy. He was the best cousin anyone could have and even a better dad and grandfather. He is already missed! Now that he is with Jesus, we can only wait for the re-union with him and the Lord. God bless his entire family.
