Today I am feeling a little bit sad,
That I lost my Pop-Pop, and others their Dad.
Together my family has cried an ocean of tears
As we feel so empty and hold many fears
But Pop-Pop would want us to know he's in a better place
And that he will still watch us 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 been with him on his final day
For in my life, he has played a special part
The memories I will treasure and keep close to my heart
For me I am glad all of my kids he got to meet
And for all of us, be grateful, his life is now complete
To each one of us he has loved and cared
And a family, be thankful for the good times we shared
Although as his family we may not always be together
know that 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 Pop-Pop looking down on us from afar
And now I would like to thank the good Lord above
For blessing us with our Pop-Pop with his kindness and love
Dear God, if it is not too much fuss
Take extra special care of our Pop-Pop as he is very dear to us.
