3years 2 months In loving Memory of John Graves Dad Where has the time gone? Three years 2 months has passed and still we wonder why? Why you left so soon and why we had to say goodbye, We miss your wisdom and you’re hearty laugh, Your strength and gentle ways, Sometime we imagine, you’re in your chair, waiting for family to gather there. To tease, and joke and hug us all, Many times you were needed, and never further than a call Now you won’t be there to watch our family grow, With births, and weddings each celebration along the road. But memories of you will be tucked in albums and held dear. The void that’s left behind is filled with tears because we Know you’re near Yes, your chair is empty,your step is silent, We no longer hear you amusing chuckles, they echo distantly, in time. But Dad, each and every day there will be a precious sign, One we’ll treasure because we’ll know it’s you. Our hearts won’t feel so heavy for one day our family will be With you , again. love Donna xoxo
