I Miss You
I miss you, PawPaw, very much,
You gave my life a special touch;
You rarely would get angry and you hardly got mad,
But when you were gone I was nothing but sad;
Now that you’ve left I feel there’s nothing more,
A piece of my heart, I felt was torn;
I went to see you I really did try,
But I knew it would be our last good-bye;
I saw your Angel she opened my eyes,
Even since then, I’m not afraid to cry;
I carry your Angel here by my side,
It is in her, that I can confide;
I know one day we’ll be together,
I will long for that day forever and ever.
I am goin to miss you telling me your goin to kick my butt.
I am sad at this moment in time for your loss, i pray for all of you in your time of greif
i am sorry to hear of your passing
I love and miss you Pap.And everyday without you gets harder and harder but I know you would want us to be happy so I try so hard not to cry but I do any way.We love and miss you Pap so much.
