Its a sad and empty feeling, not having you around.
Seems like only yesterday I seen you smiling and happy-
"just a restin" as you called it.
I know the Lord called your name and it was time.
It was time for you to go, to go and be
"just a restin"
I sometimes wish things could've been different,
but at the same time, I wouldn't have it any
other way. I sometimes wish you were still here
and that I could see you while your,
"just a restin"
I remember I would walk in your house and talk to
you. I would tell you how I was gonna have to
whoop you with my whoopin stick, as i called it,
all because you had been "runnin races"
that day and that's not what we needed-
we needed for you to be sittin in your old chair
"just a restin"
I know you lived to be a man of eighty-nine years
but to your family and friends that never seems
hardly long enough. We all wish you could've
stayed for just a little bit longer.
Now the way we see you is laying so peaceful and
"just a restin"
You took a place that no one can take in a
young girls heart. You were my Pa, still are,
and always will be. I love you very much and you
mean the world to me. I hope you are with my Ma.
I hope you are happy and I hope more than ever-
that your still "just a restin", but in the hands of God.
I just want everyone to know how much I loved that man
and how much he meant to me. So to you Pa:
I love you with all my heart. I'll always ALWAYS be your girl
and I will come see you again someday, Mark My Words.
