THE BEST

God saw you getting tired
and a cure was not to be,
So he put his arms around you
and whispered , "Jack come take a walk with me."

With tearful eyes we watched you
and saw you slip away:
Although we loved you dearly,
we could not make you stay.

A golden heart stopped beating,
hard working hands at rest,
God broke our hearts to prove to us,
He only takes the best.

My dear sweet Daddy circa 1977. One of my favorite pictures of him cos it shows his sweet smile and nature.
Me and my Dad when I was about 5 months old, he kept this picture in his wallet until he died. He said it was his favorite picture of me and him.
My handsome Father back in the day, I can see why my Mom fell for him. He was one in a million and the best Dad you could ever ask for.
