I hope that if you’re looking down, you see me in the crowd
I hope you’re smiling down on me, I hope I make you proud…

I won’t forget the day you took your journey up to heaven
Like ABC’s and 123’s, you left on 5-6-7 (May 6th, 2007)

And many times I’ve longed to only hear your voice again
Cause you were so important to me as a Dad and friend

At 55, your life cut short, it seems like such a crime
And I would offer years of mine to see you one more time

One more time to take a camping trip to Shawano Lake
Daytime beach and night time campfire, wouldn’t that be great

One more time we’ll head out to play catch in the backyard
Or to the playground and shoot hoops against each other’s guard

One more time to cook with you and learn your recipes
Watch the Packers game with you and yell at penalties

One more time to watch you paint, admiring your talent
One more time to hear your guidance through another challenge

One more time for late night popcorn, hockey, and the ‘Hawks
One more time we’ll stroll the beach of Mexico to talk

To have you back for one more night would really be a treat
Sit on the couch, and watch TV, and you could rub my feet

(addition by Ann Riemer – Sister)
One more time that you’d be here to walk me down the aisle
I hope my choice in husband would proudly make you smile

One more time to ask you questions you’d be here to answer
If your knowledge and advice weren’t taken by your cancer

One more time to wrap my arms around you for a hug
Let you know how much that I appreciate your love

One more time we’ll head to church as family to pray
Giving thanks to God for blessing us with one more day

It doesn’t matter what we do in that amount of time
Cause I would cherish every second if I had one more time
