I thought of you today and my eyes began to fill with tears I wondered why you had to suffer so I wondered why God let you endure so much My heart was troubled and I started to doubt That God was truly taking care of you The phone began to ring and I came out of my reverie The voice on the other end said you were dong better And soon would be doing fine Relief flooded my soul and joy overwhelmed me For one more time God had taken care of you Then came the day the doctors said you wouldnt be fine You could no longer live My heart nearly stopped and I began to cry How could this be the end...How could you leave me Then you were gone I sobbed No Lord you cant take him Then I heard a soft still voice whisper to me Now I can truly take care of him I thought of you today and I began to smile as I said Thank you Lord for taking such good care of my DAD
Reason for writing:
My father Estol meant a lot to me and my family
He spent many years fighting heart and stroke problems.
Many a time he would go to the hospital and we thought it was the end but he would fight back and go home from the hospital. He loved life and he loved his family.Then he was gone but I finally realized that God could take care of him now.
