A Piece of Heaven

This poem is written to honor (in my opinion)the greatest man to walk the Earth- my father Virgil Jackson Greenwood

A PIECE OF HEAVEN

I walk with pride
My head held high
Showing all who gaze upon me
What i have inside
What you gave me
How you showed me to be
What you left for me
To continue your life

I smile each day
That was your way
Share one with the world
And don't ever ask for pay
Cause it's free
It's how we should all be
From you to me
And to my son's someday

I think back and remember
A never dying ember
It feels so real
So i close my eyes to surrender
When days were yours and mine
And so wondrous was life
I thought we had all the time
But time doesn't last forever

I see you in dreams
So real it seems
I wanna show you and tell you
So many things
I wanna touch you again
Just hold your hand
Talk man to man
That'd be just keen

I'd love to show you my sons
God, they're so much fun
Watch you guys meet
Watch you guys play and run
Let you tell them about me
How i used to be
Tell them everything
About how my life begun

I show my pride daily
That's how you made me
That path you left
Is the one I'm taking
For you, me, and my sons
Cha pisa la cho anoa
Sharin it with everyone
And Dad, save a piece of Heaven for me
