I looked unto the Heavens blue,
and saw an angel and knew it was you,
I saw a dove fly high and away shall he roam,
I knew this was Gods way of calling you home.
God's love was shown when He gave the world you,
for all of the wonderful things you would do,
gentle father, I was blessed when He gave you to me,
forever I shall love only one,mortal man, that is thee.
I bring the rain for you gentle father,thy love is a balm,
when I think of thy sweet smile and voice lo,I am calm,
when the music is played as I shall always do,
every note will express how much I love you.
~Lenora Pachelbel, March 27, 1706, Nurnberg, Bavaria~
