I am getting married in April. As my wedding gift to my fiance, I have collected several pictures of his father, who passed away 3 years ago. I am going to have them professionally framed in a collage, but would like to include a note, or poem, that seems to be a message from his late father. I'd like it to reference him being there in heart or soul on his wedding day...i've tried writing one myself...just not that poetic, I guess.

What God Took
God took the strength of a mountain,
The majesty of a tree,
The warmth of a summer sun,
The calm of a quiet sea,
The generous soul of nature,
The comforting arm of night,
The wisdom of the ages,
The power of the eagle's flight,
The joy of a morning in spring,
The faith of a mustard seed,
The patience of eternity,
The depth of a family need...
I miss you dad.

Safely Home
I am home in Heaven, dear ones
Oh, so happy and so bright!
There is perfect joy and beauty
In this everlasting light
All the pain and grief is over
Every restless tossing passed
I am now at peace forever
Safely home in Heaven at last
Did you wonder I so calmly
Trod the valley of the shade?
Oh! but Jesus love illumined
Every dark and fearful glade
And He came himself to meet me
In that way so hard to tread
And with Jesus arm to lean on
Could I have one doubt or dread?
Then you must not grieve so sorely
For I love you dearly still
Try to look beyond earth's shadows
Pray to trust our Fathers will
There is work still waiting for you
So you must not idly stand
Do it now, while life remaineth
You shall rest in Jesus land
When that work is all completed
He will gently call you Home
Oh the rapture of that meeting
Oh the joy to see you come

Maybe talk to his mom, see if his dad had a favorite poem or saying, or maybe sit with his mom and have her help you write up something. I think this is very sweet and I'm sure there will not be a dry eye in the house with or without your poetic ability.
