Final Footsteps

 
 
With pain in my heart and tears in my eyes,
I walk to your casket to tell you goodbye.
It becomes harder with each step I take.
I’m afraid my poor heart is going to break.
 
I cannot describe the emotions I feel.
I love you so much, and I always will.
No one in this world has meant more to me.
Each step that I take is pure agony.
 
You’ve always been there cheering me on.
I don’t want to believe that now you are gone.
You were my hero. The best friend I had.
It’s so hard to say goodbye to you Dad.
 
Tears are now flowing over my cheeks.
My footsteps are slowing, and I’m feeling weak.
Then I take my last step, and though hard to explain,
a feeling of peace replaced sorrow and pain.
 
With love in my heart I looks down at your face.
your spirit touched mine and I felt your embrace.
I know you live on. My heart can now mend,
for I know in God’s time I will see you again.
