Grandfather

Grandpa

you were always there

you always cared.

You taught me

what a man is.

Your work ethic

your family devotion

your faith complete.

My Father

since I

didn’t have

mine…

you raised

me well

with love

and strength

compassion

and passion.

I watched

your struggle

you never

complained,

you laughed

through your

pain.

Your love

for Grandma

bright and true,

you took care

of your family

the way a

man should.

In so many ways

both big and

small

you made me

who I am.

You were

always there

when I

needed you~

You never

let me fall

You helped

give me

wings so

I could fly.

You’ve been

gone a

long time

but you are

ALWAYS

with me,

you were

all heart~

I miss you,

I love you,

I remember,

Gramps…
