Saying Goodbye To My Hero

Saying Goodbye To My Hero I step into the room People were standing all around. My heart was so heavy, What was I going to say? There you lay, before me. 'Oh lord can I do this.' I laid my head against the wall. Then the tears began to fall. I knew you was dieing, I had to be strong. The last thing on earth I wanted was to give you up that day. I thought to my self, if I did not touch you. Everything would be ok! I did not say a word. Something I had never done before today. See, I did not want to give you up. You grew weaker and I could not stand it any more. I took your hand in mine. And this is what I said. 'I love you more than any worldly thing. ' And today you will go away. I took your warm hand in mine. And told you I would hold your hand through this. I softy whispered to you. 'I love you oh so much.' I will hold your hand through this; you will not be alone. Your body got much warmer. You squeezed my hand a little; then I knew you did understand. I sat there watching your breath grow weaker. I never let go of your hand. Each and every breath was calmer. Your body did let go. The angel was waiting to take you to gods thrown. There was peacefulness: that I could not explain. Tears run from my eyes like a river. I still did not let go. I watched your soul leave your body. I saw it in your eyes. I never ever left with out kissing you, and saying good-bye. That was the hardest thing I ever done in my life. Oh! I did not want to give up my hero. But knew you would have no more pain; From the cancer that took you away. I bet it is so beautiful up in heaven. I still think of you each and every day. I wonder if you’re rocking your grandchild in heaven. Oh, this I often pray. I really wished my angel could have shared your tenderness. Maybe my angel is today. I still know you’re with me. You’re in my thoughts each day. I really do miss you. I will always think of you. And I will love you to the day my heart stops beating. Cause god made daddy to be little girls Hero’s. Big girls too.
