Grief
When Daddy Went Home
By Kay Brown
Twenty years ago
My daddy slipped away
Holding my hand
And my mom’s hand
And his mom’s hand
Was in the middle
We made a circle
And prayed for it to end
For Daddy to go home
To be with Jesus
He couldn’t leave
Until he knew
That each of us
Would be okay
So we cried
And we held hands
And we prayed
Till Jesus let him know
That it was time for him to go

Beautiful! I remember a sleepless night that I spent at my dad's bedside praying that God would take him home and then in the next breathe taking it back.
