Array ( [sid] => 74244 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => DON'T CRY [time] => 2004-12-03 09:37:54 [hometext] => This poem is dedicated to my father who died last year, and was based on how he lived his life [bodytext] => My life I've lived to drink every drop
I've laughed and cried, and I've partied non-stop.
Even now, there's not much left that I haven't done.
I've loved and lied, I've cheated, I've stole
And I have experienced the Lord in the depths of my soul.
When the Lord finds that it is time for me to go,
I want to let everyone know
That it's not a time to go off and weep
Because I have lived my life
Just for that final time to sleep...
The Lord will see to it that I get what I deserve
I pray that it is in his kingdom
He sees fit for me to serve.
So please, I beg of you don't sit around and cry...
Because just as we were born to live ,
So were we born to die.
I'll be someplace where I'll have no more worries,
And no more cares
I have gone to a place we all would be blessed to share...
I've gone up yonder... to be with the Lord [comments] => 4 [counter] => 217 [topic] => 55 [informant] => summerwine [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 0 [associated] => [topicname] => dedicatedpoems )

Awww..this is very touching and very well written. I am sorry for your loss but I am sure he is up there smiling down on you with so much pride. This reminds me of a poem I wrote called, If Tomorrow Never Comes.
Warm welcome to YPDC, the best poetry site on the net.
