Just an Old Shoebox
It was just an old shoebox,
With a pink faded ribbon wrapped around.
The old house was sad and sat strangely quiet,

To dutifully follow Dad on.
Brother and I had moved things for

WHAT WOULD HE SAY?
If He should come today
And find my hands so full
Of future plans, however fair,
In which my Savior has no share,
What would He say?
If He should come today
And find my love so cold,
My faith so very weak and dim
I had not even looked for Him.
What would He say?
If He should

He loved my mother dearly.
Mom often told me so
As she filled me in on things about
The dad I didn’t know.
He never knew a stranger, and
Kind deeds he’d always show;
His smile revealed the caring of
The dad I didn’t know.
His death came unexpectedly
The day his heart let go;
We children all felt
