I wrote this poem when my father died. He had a heart condition but we never expected him to go so quickly. He had a massive heart attack while driving his car. Although I am grateful he did not suffer, I never got to say goodbye.
Five Minutes

In Memory of My Dad Edward
If I only had five minutes the day you passed away,
I would have had time to tell you all the things I needed to say.
I never got to tell you how much you mean to me,
Or that you were the best dad, better than any man could be.
The last time that I talked to you
I wish I would have known.
I would have said I love you,
and kept you on the phone.
If I only had five minutes,
the morning you passed away,
I'd give you one last hug so tight and see your great big smile.
I'd tell you that I don't think I could live without you,
not even for awhile.
I'd kiss your cheek and take your hand and tell you it's okay to go
And tell you that I'll miss you,
more than you'll ever know.
But you were gone so quickly,
One last car ride you'd take.
Before you even knew it,
you were standing at heavens gate.
Now God has called upon you,
It's time to get your wings.
To leave this life behind you,
And enjoy all of heavens beautiful things.
So wait for me in heaven Dad,
Don't let me come alone.
The day the angels come for me,
Please be there to bring me home.
Dedicated to my dad Edward Hudak - died 8-29-08

My father passed away suddenly from a massive heart attack while playing with my 4 yr old son. It was such a shock. He was only 55.
I looked on the internet trying to find the right words to say. I knew I wanted to get up and speak at the funeral, but just couldn't get my words onto paper. When I ran across this I absolutely froze and started to cry. It's perfect!! Once I was done reading it at the funeral I put a copy of it in the casket with him.
He'll be missed and my heart will forever be broken, but I know he's in heaven playing golf and fishing. Just want he would be doing if he were here.

A month ago at the age of 76, we had 4 days at our dad's side before he passed away. Dad, our angel with golden wings and his smile so bright. he said he has his memory and feels no pain.
''he said'' he is making a home for us his family, in heaven above. a beautiful place where we will join him his family of love.
thank you Annmarie, for waking me up. our family had 4 days with dad to be thankful for. thank you
