Some words for Fathers Day

[TerriLynn]

With Father's day close, I was thinking of my dad, now passed since '01, and remebered a song by John Denver he liked to listen to. J.D. is the only music my dad and I had a common liking for, so I thought I would share these words with all the girls here.

"On The Wings Of A Dream"

Yesterday, I had a dream about dying,
About laying to rest, and then flying.
How the moment at hand is the only thing we really own.

And I lay in my bed and I wondered,
After all has been said and is done for,
Why is it thus we are here, and so soon we are gone?

Is this life just a path to the place that we have all come from?
Does the heart know the way, and if not,
Can it ever be found, in a smile,
or a tear, or a prayer,
or a sigh, or a song?

And if so, Then I sing for my father,
And in truth, you must know I would rather.
Were he here by my side,
We could fly,
On the wings of a dream,
To a place where the spirit would find us,
And the joy and surrender would bind us,
We are one anyway, anyway we are more than we seem.
There are those who will lead us, protect us each step of the way.

From beginning to end, for each moment,
Forever each day.
Such a gift has been given,
It can never be taken away.

Though the body in passing must leave us,
There is one who remains to receive us.
There are those in this life, who are our friends,
From our heavenly home.

So I listen to the voices inside me,
For I know they are there just to guide me.
And my faith will proclaim it is so,
We are never alone.

From the life to the light,
From the dark of the night into the dawn,
He is so in my heart, he is here, he could never be gone.
Though the singer is silent,
there still is the truth,
Of the song, in the song.

Thank you for sharing this with us TerriLynn.

John Denver was, well in my opinion, a poet's poet! Very few folks did not like something that he wrote.

I guess my wish for Father's Day would be some kind of reconcilation with my kids, but we are all too stubborn I guess, so life goes on!!!

Happy Father's Day to all the great dad's out there!

Love,

Virginia
