When god was making fathers

When God was making Father's
AS far as i can see,
He spent alot of time on one
And saved that one for me.

He made a perfect Man
Compassionate & kind,
With more patience & affection
Than you could hope to find.

He gave this perfect Man
A heart of solid gold,
And after God had finished
He must of broke the mould.

IF HEAVEN HAD A PHONE.

IF HEAVEN HAD A PHONE.

I can not dial your number,
I can't get throught to you,
I called the operator,
She did all that she could do.

There is no code to heaven,
I can not place the call,
No numbers left to try,
I reckon i've tried them all.

If heaven had a phone,
I'd ring you every day,
If heaven had a phone,
There's things i wanna say.

Tell you that i love you,
Miss you since you went away,
And how much i prayed to god,
That he could let you stay.

Oh dad if heaven had a phone,
There's things i want to know,
Things i want to tell you,
How do you feel,
Should i stay or should i go.

Are you looking over me,
Do you see me cry a tear,
Questions i wanna ask,
Answers i need to hear.

If heaven had a phone,
I'd ring you every day,
My life has had no meaning,
Since the day god took you away,
I only know the sadness,
More tears again today.

Maybe one day i'll smile without you,
Until then i will always cry,
One day the sun may shine for me,
Like it did for you and i.

My life was for tomorrow,
now my life is yesterday,
I cannot face this world alone,
Please dad show me the way.

If heaven had a phone,
I'd ring you every day,
If heaven had a phone,
I'd hear your voice, know your'e okay.

I just want to speak to heaven,
please do you have a direct line,
Operator says no number,
But your proud dad says he's doing fine.

Gone too soon, but obviously never forgotten.
No more tears, no more hate, no more pain. Only the love that lives on in the hearts of those who miss you remain. Rest in Peace, Philip.

words of comfort

I really felt sorrow for you when i read how much Philip ment to you. People who have mental illness are some times forgotten, but i can see that you loved him so very very much. I pray that the God of all comfort reaches you today. Please read in your Bible John 11 verse11-44. With deep respect and condolences.

This life can at times be unbearable for the people who have all the love and support they need, So I can't imagine what it is like for those who feel alone. But everybody touches someone in their lives, and it seems that you have brought happiness to people in your short time here. That is what is important now, is the happy memories you made. I hope you are surrounded by love in heaven.
