Leonard R. Hilliard who passed on November 27, 2000

Another year has passed that you have been gone

Oh how I wish that I could turn back time;

But God knew that it was time for you to go home

It was on God’s agenda and not mine.

When I was young and growing up

You and I would disagree on things now and then;

But long gone are the days that I can call you on the phone

And say to you, “Dad do you remember when?”

As I now have children of my own,

I know now how proud you must have been;

As the generations continue to come and go

Your love for all of us is instilled within.

It was with mixed emotion that I had to let you go

But I knew that you didn’t want to say;

You were headed home to Jesus to live forever

And that when you drew your last breath you were on your way.

There is not one day that goes by

That I don’t miss you DAD,

But I know that you are with Jesus

And nothing more makes me more glad.

Miss you DAD and PAP.
