I saw my Dad today. He died in ninety-four.
I saw him as I tied my shoes sitting on the floor.
I heard my Dad today, the humor in his voice.
echoed in my own.I really had no choice.
I felt my Dad today, tho' not a word he spoke.
As I teased a clerk to smile with some silly joke.
I saw him in my mirror gazing back at me;
One day we'll join each other for eternity.
It doesn't seem so long, but Dad's been gone awhile
I still can see the twinkle so often in his smile.
I hear his gentle voice and wish he still was near
But heaven's gates swung open wide "Everett, you are here!".
