In Memory of my Father

July 8, 2009 By Erin L. Leave a Comment

Time has passed quickly.
Spring and fall have come many times.
I am older.
Yet you stay the same.

Do you see me down here?
Do you watch me grow?
Are you proud of the things I’ve done
and of the person I’ve become?

I wish that you could meet my husband.
My heart aches that you won’t meet my son.
I hope that you will watch over us as our life continues.
That you’ll hold us in your hands as we raise your grandson
and keep him safe.

Happy Birthday Daddy!
Steven Carnahan 7/7/50 – 7/31/82
