Goodbye to Grandfather

He watched me grow form a baby to a young lady,
With his love and wisdom he made me shine,
Time tryed his strength and has brought alond sadness but...

Sadness is only a back ground color on my wall of emotions,
The love and carring I have for him drown out all other colors,
Though time threatened him with death and did not bluff.

We must never forget that he is eternal,
Eternal in my heart and memories of him,
They will llive on from generation to generation from voice to voice,
Time has a way of bringing sadness and pain to every happy life,
I will always love and remember him and how he was,

Goodbye for now from this place, but you will always be in my heart!
