Grandpop
though I know your up above
showering down nothing but love
my children were to little to remember
the love you shared without surrender
where do I begin to explain
everything from you I've gained
you were a strong yet gentle man
always there to hold my hand
though work filled your everyday
you gave me time, you found a way
you drove many, many a mile
just to surprise and make me smile
even when you were to weak to walk
you always had the strength to talk
to hold, to cuddle
my two precious bundles
loving them with all your heart
knowing to soon you'd have to part
giving them enough to last forever
until we are all again together
on me, my girls can depend
telling them from beginning to end
this is how I will help them see
all the ways you meant to me
