As time goes on-

AS TIME GOES ON-

Grandpa-

Born: May 15th 1925

Passes: August 11th 2005

As time moves on my heart stays still-

As I reach for your hug, I just try to imagine the feel-

Feeling your warmth that could cure my weary soul-

Hearing you tell me I can achieve all my goals-

I miss your laughter, your smile, your walk-

Your beautiful wisdom, your blue eyes, your broken talk-

Now I am on a journey and I think of you each day-

As I raise a daughter I think of what you might say-

I feel you would be proud of me Grandpa-that I haven’t let you down-

That I am the man you hoped-I’d be standing my ground-

And now-

I could use your wisdom-

Your beautiful way, it was so G-D given-

But I can’t be sad-I have to be proud-

That you passed along your beauty into me now-

I am a good man and that I learned from you-

So I say Grandpa without you I would be just a fool-

I miss Grandpa-

I love you more than you know-

You’re not just my grandfather-

You are my real life superhero-

Rest easy because I am here to carry you on-

I love you-

Richie

As each day passes I miss you more and more, they say time heals these wounds but they are still so sore-as I close my eyes tonight I hope to see your face and night after night I hope to feel your grace-

REST EASY
