Dad,you and I worked together I had not a care in the world. That was a good time in my life.We laughed a lot and worked hard. I miss those days. You told me that life was just waiting to be lived. And no matter what you become,do it with honor,strength,hope and charity. Help those who needed it and never regret doing it. You are missed.

We sat beside your bedside, Our hearts were crushed and sore; We did our best to the end, 'Til we could do no more. In tears we watched you sinking, We watched you fade away; And though our hearts were breaking, We knew you could not stay. You left behind some aching hearts, That loved you most sincere; We never shall and never will Forget you papaw dear.

My papaw was a great man;  A great man is not mesured by his worth
It does not matter what he was deemed at birth
 
Papaw was a man who would share and joke, But for him everyone was a bleedin'  bloke, His family made him so happy and proud, Everyone he met he would  tell them aloud, You have left so many happy thoughts in my heart, I am  still finding it hard to believe we are now apart, If I were given one wish  what would it be, It would be for you to be here for one more day with your  family, I am heart broken that you are no longer here, When I think of  you, I will always shed a tear, People tell me in time the pain will  stop, But I will always miss the times I had with my dearest Pop, And now  it is time for us to say goodbye, He will be looking down on us, wishing us  not to cry, But this I will say to papaw as a guarantee, In our heart’s a  memory, and there you’ll always be.

Love you Papaw  LOVE, Sunni
