He had the power
To touch my life.
Make it all go away
When I am filled with strife.
I call him Grandpa
And he had it all.
When life knocks me down
His words stopped my fall.
After he passed
I began to weep.
Knowing he's gone.
Forever he will sleep.
His head filled with wisdom.
A heart painted with love.
He looks down upon us
From his new home up above.
"Don't cry because its over"
I still hear him say,
"Smile because it happened."
Which I'll remember everyday.
