A Poem for Daddy

Sharlene Marie Gomez-Vallejo

"Dreams begin where rainbows end"

Daddy,
I want you to know that I'm not afraid because I know out of
love I was made
I know I won't see you for a long long time, and everything has a
reason and rhyme
One day we will meet again, but not yet
I want you to know that I will never forget
My only wish is for more time together
My sweet Daddy "Joey" I will miss you forever
Just knowing your love is comforting to me
You're in Heaven now and your soul is free
Love always your daughter Marissa Minor
