Never Ready to Say Goodbye We're never ready to say goodbye To someone we hold dear. If it were up to us, dear Dad, We'd always keep you here. But God has reasons of His own And plans we cannot know, And these are always for our good, Though it may seem not so. Our arms are empty and our hearts Are filled with tears and grief, For we who loved each day with you, Now find those days too brief. Yet if we could only heaven see, We'd know you're happy there, And we would never call you back When such great joy you share. And so we'll trust you to God's great care And know some day, once more, We'll hold you to our hearts again When we reach heaven's shore. XXX love you Dad xxx
