The World's Greatest Grandpa

a poem I wrote for my grandpa's funeral

Heavenly father full of grace
Had once again opened the golden gates
To let another loved on in
to love and treasure him once again.
Too late to go back to his rightful place
So hard to dry the tears from our face.
It’s hard to say goodbye
But with every thought of you, tears slowly fill my eyes.
You’re the world’s greatest grandpa
And your love and humor you gave it all.
You opened your heart once again
You’re a wonderful grandpa, husband, and friend!
