God's Speed Poem by David Daykin

God's Speed



A rock that held up the sky for me.
A rock that showed all I could be.
A rock that sheltered me from harm.
A rock who's embrace was loving and warm.
A rock that taught me how to be my own man.
But now before me an empty space does stand.
I wipe the tears from my face and smile through the pain.
And wish you God's speed Dad till we meet again.

Sometimes it's hard to find the words when a friend suffers a loss. This poem was my attempt to find those 'words' for a good friend.

I wipe the tears from my face and smile through the pain. Thats a great choice to make in such a time, after all life goes on.
