Lessons taught unaware (i miss you grandaddy)

Grandaddy you’ve taught me many things
You may not know it.
But you’ve taught me what love brings

You and maw-maw’s marriage is a perfect example
I know what to do when I wed
I have the perfect sample

Although there were times what were hard
You held maw-maw on a pedestal
Up there with the highest regard

I hope I can find a guy just like you
One I can have fun with
And joke and laugh too

No afraid to speak his mind
Says what he thinks
But tries to be kind

One on which I can rely
Just like you
Whose words are true; and not a lie

You family you cared for
They were you life
Apart from them, you could not be tore

I have to remember what you would say
“Don’t start none, won’t be none”
With that mindset, nothing can stand in my way

I’ve learned not to miss out
Cuz like you say “you snooze you lose.”
It’d be my fault, and I could not pout

If I take what I have learned with me
Who knows what this life has in store
Who knows what I could be

So Grandaddy, what I have learned I will take
With all the lessons, you never knew you taught
Of my life, something I will make
