"Dede's Walk
With God"
Remember Grandpa
Grandpa lived to be ninety six
or seven
Before he left us and headed
for heaven
I still remember the home he
lived in
Grandma kept it neat as a pin
Lacy doilies and family
keepsakes everywhere
Letters to answer, here and
there
Grandpa never failed to answer
them all
While gazing at family photos
on the wall
Family meant the world to him
He didn't want a world full of
sin
The word of God, to many he
wrote
Most were long letters, some
just a note
Telling of God's Unconditional
Love
And the promise of Eternal
Life, above
He wanted his family in heaven
with him
His faith in God was not a whim
Sitting in his overstuffed
chair, oh, so comfy
Reading his Bible and smoking
his pipe
Always counting his
grandchildren, so proudly
But he didn't brag, he wasn't
the type
I cherish my letters all stored
away
So all my family can read them
one day
I thank God for Grandpa every
day
He was the one who showed me
the Way
Thank you, Grandpa, it comes
from my heart
A day will come and we won't be
apart
You were the greatest of them
all.
I still have your picture on my
wall
Save me a place right by your
side
The heavenly rules, I will
abide
Please tell the others, I miss
them too
And I love them all, as much as
you
You were the one I looked up to
I knew what you shared would
always be true
A man of his word is hard to
find
My Dear Grandpa, You were one
of a kind
