Sorry to hear the bad news Link I lost my dad 2 years ago when he was living homeless in Sacramento and a car hit and killed him I could have tried a year before when I found him after years of searching for him but he wouldn't return to Arkansas with me, but I know how it feels losing a loved one, a friend of mine sent me this poem back after it happened and I would like to share it with you.
FAREWELL
The sand of time are running low
And soon my children I must go
My heart with love for you is filled
But soon its beating must be stilled
I leave no treasures of any kind
Only my love I leave behind
Take it and share it between sister and brother
And always be kind to one another
Weep not beside the grave for me
Don't bring me flowers I cannot see
Only ashes lie neath the cold sod
Just pray that my soul has gone with God
Some of you perhaps may weep
When my eyes are closed in eternal sleep
But try to remember it won't be forever
For God can bring our spirits together
I pray that I go to a world far above
To be with the others that I love
And to wait awhile on that Heavenly plain
Until the day we shall meet again.
