Grandpa

The day that you left us
You didn’t say good-bye.
God was calling his angel home,
There was no time to ask why.

How we cried when you left
The pain was felt by all.
Memories now is all we have
And your pictures on the wall.

Though I cannot see you,
I know that your still here.
In my memories you will always live,
In my heart you’re always near.

Tears have fallen for you,
Some happy and some sad.
A man that I grew up to love,
A man I called my Grand-Dad.

We miss you very dearly,
You’re missed very much.
You will never be forgotten,
You’re in a child’s touch.
