Rest In Peace Dad Poem by Stephen Mcbride

Dear dad,
I never got a chance to say goodbye,
Looking up into the sky,
I would ask God why.
I would try to hide my emotions,
But the tears streaming from my eye,
Would never lie.

When it was time to go to sleep,
You would no longer be around to sing me a lullaby.
I was too young to understand, I had done nothing wrong,
But you gave me the strength to be strong.
I would blow out my candles,
Of the birthdays that you missed,
But it was for you that I always wished.
Some things are just not meant to be,
But your memory will always live on with me.
So goodnight, and God bless,
I love you dad,
You will always be the best.
Rest In peace Alan McBride.
I will never forget you xxx
