GRANDPA, GRANDPA. WHY?
GRANDPA, GRANDPA I wish you were here,
Every time I think about you I cry a tear,
It feels so different without you,
All we say and hear is boo-hoo,
We can all still hear your voice,
But we knew you had no choice,
GOD was calling you; HE wanted you to go,
Otherwise HE would've said "NO",
You fought to the end we were very proud,
But in the end when it was over we cried out loud,
We tried not to fuss,
But all we thought was WHY? WHY did you leave us?
WE LOVE YOU GRANDPA, WE'LL NEVER FORGET YOU. YOU'LL ALWAYS BE IN OUR HEARTS.
Love,
Adam

God grant me the Serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
Courage to change the things I can,
and the Wisdom to know the difference.
May this prayer bring you peace and strength. You are not alone.
