Wrote this as a eulegy for one of my grandfathers' funeral.

My grandfather was a loving man He didn't always have to say it it was the kind of love you understand and behind his thick rimmed were two eyes that told of kindness in his tender heart i'm taking all of my memories and I'll know that his love will never part

He worked real hard and cherished thiings that he had he knew the good lord would give but he could take things away and leave you feeling sad so he lived his life and tried to do what he thought was best and at the end of the day thanked god for all the rest

"And some day we'll meet again cause over the rainbow there's a pot of Gold you shoot out of here just like a rocket ship out into the light the great unknown."

in all my years i hope I made him proud seein him smile when I walked through the door helps remove my doubt what goes around comes around right back to you since god made everything what kind of homecoming will he have for you

and through my tears i'll be smiling cause I know there's a better place and this world is far from perfect still we try we try in vain

Refrain
