My Internet Dad

Beside you, I may not get the chance to walk
Or sing a song I wrote, just for you.
I may not get to share a face to face talk,
But you are a blessing and so email will do.

When the days ahead get dreary,
My wish would be to help you through.
And when your body gets weary,
I’ll think of physical help you’ll need too.

I often think of your presence in my life:
You emerged, the raging storm to calm.
Oh! How it has brought a ray of sunlight—
The fear no longer rings an alarm.

You spoke with words of wisdom,
Sharing from the love of your heart;
Lighting a path towards the Kingdom—
Now I’m resting in my Saviour’s Arms.

Though the ocean separates us,
God has blessed me with a gift;
It will keep us connected - no fuss!
And I will use it, others to uplift.

I am very happy I have met you—
Happy that God placed you in my life.
I needed guidance and God sent you—
Glad you had the blessings of your wife.

I thank God for sending you my way.
Each day I’ll be careful not to forget
The blessings He has sent my way.
May He continue to guide and protect.

Continue to grow stronger in Christ;
Singing praises to His holy name.
Keep God on your mind, all of your life;
Your faith will not be in vain.
