Grandpa

a day after you passed

wishing you would last

surrounded by tears

remembering the good times with beers

we want to keep your name alive

that’s the only thing we can revive

grandpa, grandad, big papa, husband, son, brother and dad you were all called

that blessing is being sprawled 

we have different stories to share

but we can agree on one to swear

your silent laugh that would make you cry

we’re sure you’re doing it up in the sky

laughing at yourself before your joke came out

we wouldn’t even know what it’s about

but that didn’t matter

we have the memory after

we hope you’re happy up there in heaven

reunited with loved ones without question

your memory lives on then

until we meet again

hope up there you have a good view

we love and miss you
