Childhood

My Father Up In Heaven

To My Father Up In Heaven

I went to see my father today

Not as his house

Not at his job

Not in the hospital

Not in the nursing home

I went to see my father today

Resting peacefully

At his grave

Undisturbed

I talk to him

About who I am today

And who I wish to be

That I will live the life for him that he will never get to see
