Unanswered Questions

Some things are difficult or very hard, other things just seem like pure Hell,
When I was told of your accident in which you died, that was my hardest, I do tell.

What now, where do I go, what should I think and what can I say?
No answers, just emotional pain as I go to bed praying to wake up in a different day.

Oh, can I have just one more talk with you, one more time as my final request?
Todd, tell me of your love and that you are with Jesus so I can have peace, hope, and rest.

Can you tell me what heaven is like and assure me that you are now content to be there?
Tell me that you’ve forgiven me of my fatherhood mistakes when you were here.

Tell me your pain and hardships of living on earth are now all gone.
Tell me when you first awaken there, that it was a new glorious and wonderful dawn.

Tell me of what it’s like to be free from the burden of carrying your cross,
Tell me you will be waiting for me at heaven’s gate when I come across.

Please play for me one more time my favorite hymn, The Old Rugged Cross,
If I could only hear it live from you again, I’m sure it would lessen my loss.

So son, now that you are gone, how can I show my love to you?
How can I connect with you beyond the earth sky blue?

I need you to know how my heart misses you so,
All the things I wanted to do with you and the places we didn’t get to go.

The things we never got accomplished together here, are haunting me to my core,
Will we be able to pick up where we left off when I reach heaven’s shore?

Together in Heaven are there yet more memories to be made?
Can I dream now of more plans to be laid?

Please tell me from the comfort of your heavenly home,
That it’s not over, and in the universe we will one day roam.

But mostly Todd, tell me what’s it’s like to be by Jesus’s side
Were you swept off your feet by heaven’s love tide?

Does His love give you more life than you’ve ever felt before?
Will I experience a blast of love when I come through heaven’s door?

Somehow, as I now think of you being there,
My grief, I can begin to bear.

Until then
Be loved my son, amen

Dad
