My Father Came To Me

My Father Came To Me

My Father Came To Me

He Told Me To Come Home

He Knew I Had Been Hurting

So Far Away Alone

 

Although I Haven't Seen Him

He Looked The Very Same

The Day I Saw Him Smile

The Time I Felt No Pain

 

My Father Came And Saw Me

Laying On The Floor

He Bent Down To Lift me

And Guide Me Through The Door

 

He Never Was This Giving

Knowing Not What Words To Say

I only Knew He Loved Me

And Wanted Me To Stay

 

The Room Looked So Inviting

The Colors Smelled Like Dew

My Pain It Had Been Lifted

I Ran With Legs Like New

 

If I Could Only Tell Him

So He Would Understand

How Much That I Had Missed Him

How Glad I Was To Stand

 

But I Could Not Stay With Him

He Was Only In My Dream

I Woke And He Had Vanished

To His World So Serene

 

When I Want To See Him

I Shut My Lids And Cry

He Will Be There To Greet Me

On The Day That I Will Die

Very emotional write, dreams can seem so real, when I dream about my parents who have passed on and I very rarely do despite being a big dreamer - I always think it's a visitation - it is a sad write but with an uplifting ending, we will see them again - oh God I hope so :)
