For Our Popa

I know we are all feeling a little bit sad,
That we've lost our Popa, our friend and our dad
Together we have cried an ocean of tears
As we feel so empty and hold many fears

But Popa would want us to know he's in a good place
And that he's watching us all with a smile on his face
As we have made him so proud, as proud as can be
That he has raised such a beautiful and special family

Thinking back now I really must say
I feel lucky and privileged to have known Popa to this day
For in my life, you have played a special part
The memories I will treasure and keep close to my heart

For me I am glad my little niece's got to meet him
And for all of us, be grateful, his life is now complete
To each one of us he has loved and cared.
And family, be thankful for the good times we shared

Although he has gone we will always be together
And his spirit will live on in each one of us forever
When you look to the sky, look for the brightest star
As that will be Popa looking down on us from afar

And now I would like to thank the good Lord above
For blessing us with our Popa with his kindness and love
Dear God, if it is not too much fuss
Take extra special care of our Popa as he is very dear to us

Popa, if you are listening say a prayer for us every day
Be sure to protect us and guide us on our way
We know when God called you, you had to go
But we want you to know Popa we miss you and love you so
