You were not my father
I found myself saying this
While I was leaning over you
giving you one last kiss

You were not my father
are words so hard to comprehend
when I finally realized
that everything has come to the end

You were not my father
as I sat there and watched them go by
taking you out the door
my heart felt such a heavy sigh

You were not my father
Yet at the same time I felt as if you were
with all we have been thru
as the memories started to stir

You were not my father
by giving me life to breathe
but you truly were in my heart
and this I feel relieved

You were not my father
Though at this time of your passing
I say to you in many ways you were
and the love you instilled will be everlasting

You were not my father
but I say thanks to you for all you have done
all the love you gave to me
especially thank you for giving me your son

You were not my father
What you were was my father in law
Who has become apart of my life
Someone I looked up to in awe

I write this in loving memory of my Father In Law
May he always feel the love reaching up to him
