Gary “Jake” Haskin

BIRTHDAY TRIBUTE

In loving memory of our beloved father, Gary “Jake” Haskin, whose birthday is February 12.

A Wish Come True

If I could have a wish come true,

A dream that’d come to pass,

I’d ask to spend a day with you,

And pray that it would last.

I’d run to you and hold you close,

We’d laugh and smile again.

I’d listen so intently

As you told me how you’ve been.

When time was up I’d hold you close

Not wanting to let go

You’d smile and tell me, “See you soon”

And somehow I would know.

That while it’s very hard to wait,

One day the time will come,

I’ll join you there forevermore,

When I too am called Home.

My wish may go ungranted

But it always will be true...

I’d trade many of my tomorrows

For one yesterday with you.

Sadly missed by, Amanda, Chrissy, and Family
