Daddy died on Ascension Day
His Spirit watched as we stood there and prayed
all the angels sang up above
for his heart was so full of love
Daddy died on Ascension Day
What do you think he was trying to say
His Spirit rose in a heavenly way
Daddy died on Ascension Day
(My father’s essence went to Heaven on May 16, 1996, Ascension Day on the Catholic Calendar. This was the chorus of a song that I wrote in his honor.)
