In loving memory of my Grandfather who would have been 76 years old tomorrow. Taken from us 10 years ago.... I miss you Grandpa, I can still remember the way you smelled of Irish spring soap, your corny jokes, your Tim Conway shuffle, the way your eyes would light up whenever you seen us, your sweet smile, the warm hugs you gave, those grayish blue eyes that looked on all of us with unconditional love, and how you loved the Holidays....Life is just not the same without you...I LOVE YOU GRANDPA!!
If tears could build a stairway,
And memories were a lane.
I would walk right up to heaven,
to bring you home again.
No farewell words were spoken,
No time to say good-bye.
You were gone before I knew it,
And only God knows why.
My heart still aches in sadness,
And secret tears still flow.
What it meant to lose you,
No one will ever know.
You gather with the angels,
around Gods happy throne.
I would have held you closer,
If I had only known.
