Exceptional The redemption So I sat by DR DIP

SO I SAT So I sat and thought of what he said Those last words he expressed As he laid there dying on the bed Words he wanted me to hear I guess "Son, don't make the same mistakes I did in my life Life is what someone makes The chances are so rife" I held his hand there as I listened A tear ran down my face And as I looked his eyes glistened with words I could never replace "You've been a good man I know this You know I am so proud All those memories I will miss But I will say them out aloud" "Dad I'll never forget The little things you did If I have just one regret I never told you as a kid" "I took the things you did for granted I wish I showed more love I know I've had a life enchanted So let me tell you from above" "You see I never gave the time That you gave to me Ignorance is such a crime I was too blind to see" Now his life is over clearly He lays here on the bed Oh how much, I loved him dearly So many things I wish I'd said Death is such a final thing Never thought it would happen to him Now I'm listening to the fat lady sing And the music's his farewell hymn There's just one thing I want to say Before you lose your Dad Always give him the time of day Remember the good times that you had Love ya dad dip Recognized Author Notes I was there when Dad passed away. I so wish I had spent more time with him in my youth. I so wish I listened to him more. For those who still have a Dad make the effort to communicate and talk with him while you can. Don't have the same guilt I had when he passed. Always find the time...for time together is only fleeting melancholy dip
