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
