A song-poem of thanks for the legacy you left me.
Daddy (A song poem)/Tag line from “Blessed Assurance”) by Denise Goosby
You loved me before I even knew what love was
Even before I knew God
You were all to me
You loved me before I knew what love was
Even before I knew myself
You were all to me
Nearly three years now since you left, daddy
Images fill my mind
Of you smiling, of you crying, of the pain in your eyes
Sometimes the ache comes softly…floating on the wind
Sometimes it’s a flood trying to draw me under again
But it’s only because I love you still
You know, love never dies
And even though I miss you still
I know it’s not goodbye
Cause you left a legacy that money cannot buy
Your hugs and kisses let me know I mattered to you
Times we spent fishing or lifting praises to the sky
Oh, daddy, did you know Jesus shone from your eyes?
You were always there when I needed you
In good times and in bad
Watching me receive my diploma
Standing by momma’s graveside
In the latter years as the losses mounted
You never lost your faith
Loving God and loving others
Your example I can never replace
But what I can do is follow you
As you faithfully followed Christ
Knowing my God is my father’s God
And I’ll see you once again
Cause you left a legacy that money cannot buy
Your hugs and kisses let me know I mattered to you
Times we spent fishing or lifting praises to the sky
Oh, daddy, did you know Jesus shone from your eyes?
It’s hard carrying on without you
Even now the tears are going to fall
But the Father of us both holds me closely
And He’s my all and all…
Thank you for your legacy that money cannot buy
Thank you for your hugs and kisses that mattered so much to me
The times we spent fishing or lifting praises to the sky
Oh, daddy, thank you for Jesus, He shone from your eyes
