It didn't seem real
It was like he had only gone fishing
Of course, that was only a dismal hope
a faint glimmer of me wishing
I'll miss him dearly
Won't get to see him biyearly
playing games - cards and such
golf, euchre, slapjack, and sequence
No more am I able to hug his round belly
or give a kiss on his sandpaper cheeks
But no more will he ache or shake
Oh, what a glorious day!
My heart hurts for my grandmother's loss
The house feels empty without his jolly, old laugh
But there we left her,
playing a lonely game of solitaire
Yet, his memory lives on through me
I can tell of his love for our country
Eagles, flags, and family
These were his pride and joy
I loved him so much
I really did
But I can live in peace
Knowing he's waiting for me
with Jesus
