GRANDFATHER REMEMBERED

GROWING UP IN LIFE,
MANY TEARS WE SHED,
FOR OTHERS, THAT WE KNOW,
A LOVING GRANDFATHER,
IS ONE OF THEM,
WITH A GREAT LOVE,
HE DOES SHOW.
FROM A SMALL CHILD,
INTO A MAN,
YOUR BLESSED,
TO HAVE HIM NEAR,
THE FOCUS  OF,
THE THINGS HE'S SHARED,
WITH YOU, BECOMES SO CLEAR.
YOU WATCH, YOU SEE,
AS YEARS GO BY,
THIS LOVING MAN,
GROWING OLDER, EACH DAY,
HIS YOUNG FACE,
YOU SEE, SO YOUTHFUL,
THROUGH THE YEARS,
SEEING WRINKLES, AND GREY.
HIS LOVE, AND BLESSINGS,
WITHIN HIM,
HE'S SHARED, WITH EVERYONE,
AS EACH DAY, HE GETS SICKER,
YOU REALIZE SOON,
HE WILL BE GONE.
AS HIS TIME,
ON EARTH, GETS SHORTER,
YOU DON'T WANT, TO LET HIM GO,
REMEMBER, WITHIN GODS' HANDS,
HE'LL BE WAITING,
UNTIL  THE TIME, YOU SHOW.
HIS LOVE, WILL ALWAYS, BE WITH YOU,
A HUGE PART, OF HIMSELF, HE'LL LEAVE,
HIS PRESENCES,
WILL ALWAYS SURROUND YOU,
AS LONG, AS YOU BELIEVE.
