FATHERS    DAY

                                                      

             MY DAD LOWELL FEE

         GONE TO BE WITH JESUS

          

                MEMORIES OF DAD

                I LOOK BACK AND YOU'RE NOT THERE.

                               AND I MISS YOUR PRESENCE,AND KNOWING

                                                     YOU CARE:

                               EACH STEP I  TAKE ALONG LIFE'S PATH TODAY,

                               SEEMS EMPTY  WITHOUT  YOU LEADING THE WAY.

                               NO LONGER CAN I FEEL YOUR TOUCH: OR FAIL TO

                                         TELL YOU I LOVE YOU SO MUCH,

                               I MISS YOU SITTING IN YOUR  OLD EASY CHAIR:

                               BUT EVEN  MORE I MISS KNOWING YOU CARE

                               I REMEMBER MANY OF THE KIND THINGS YOU DID,

                               PUTTING UP WITH A TALKATIVE,AGGRAVATING YOUNG KID:

                               BUT  THOSE DAYS ARE GONE, AND SO ARE YOU,

                               BUT I THINK YOU FOR YOUR LOVE I KNEW.
