I  heard the music playing

as the swirling light danced within my soul

it was our song

 Violet 's and mine

our favorite melody

taking me into the winds of eternity

to join my loving wife

to dance away her tears.

I slipped silently away

from my pain-filled earthly shell

surrounded by my family

hand in hand

 lovingly

sadly

they let me go

on my way

 a loving farewell

 the final curtain call.

I will return to you

in your mind

and in your heart.

 I am not far away

you have only to think of me

and I will be there with you.

I dance to the heavenly music

knowing we will be together again

 I am, and always will be...your father.

You were my precious child,

I am here for you, even in death. 

 I am  your loving

and ever watchful

 Guardian Angel..
