Grandpa I remember
Your love and legacy
Big smiles,long jokes
Memories last forever.

Granda I saw you
Show immense generosity
And how you helped others
By lending a helping hand.

Grandpa I remember
Howyou brightened my life
And brought energy,laughter
To all those around and near you.

Grandpa I learned
How you taught me everyday as
I learned from your wisdom
Our Earth is less without you.

Grandpa I knew always
How you were at-all-times supportive
Surrounded me with a constant love
And picked me up when I fell down.

My grandpa's life is now over
His book on earth has been closed
And although his love still shines
And his memories live within my heart

His legacy of love and faith will last forever.
