Uncle...so many images come to mind
whenever I speak your name;
It seems
without you in my life
things have never been the same.
What happened to those lazy days
when I was just a child;
When my life
was consumed in you
in your love, and in your smile.
What happened to all those times
when I always looked to you;
No matter
what happened in my life
you could make my gray skies blue.
Uncle, some days I hear your voice
and turn to see your face;
Yet in my
turning...it seems
the sound has been erased.
Uncle, who will I turn to for answers
when life does not make sense;
Who
will be there to hold me close
when the pieces just don't fit.
Oh, Uncle, if I could turn back time
and once more hear your voice;
I'd
tell you that out of all the dads
you would still be my choice.
Please always know I love you
and no one can take your place;
Years may
come and go
but your memory will never be erased.
Today, Jesus, as You are listening
in your home above;
Would you go and
find my uncle
and give him all my love.
