For My Grandpa by Llona Blake

"I know we are all feeling a little bit sad,
That we've lost our Papa, our friend and our dad
Together we have cried an ocean of tears
As we feel so empty and hold many fears
But Papa would want us to know he's in a good place
And that he 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 Papa to this day
For in my life, you have played a special part
The memories I will treasure and keep close to your heart
To each one of us he has loved and cared
And a family, be thankful for the good times we shared
Although he has gone we will always be together
And his spirit will live on each one of us forever
When you look to the sky, look for the brightest star
As that will be Papa looking down on us from afar
And now I would like to thank the good Lord above
For blessing us with our Papa with his kindness and love
Dear God, if it is not too much fuss
Take extra special care of our Papa as he is very dear to us
Papa 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 Papa we miss you and love you so"
