Where has grampa gone, Mommy? |
Mommy, where's gramps? He said we'd play. Where is he now, This sunny day? He said we'd fish, Out on the lake, He'd help me with The yard! We'd rake! He's gone, you say? Where did he go? We're supposed to Hike! He said so! We would stand near The evergreen! Where is the man On who I lean? Where did he go? Why can't you say? I thought we could Go sail today. He's gone away? To where, please tell. I hope he's fine, He looked unwell. A pretty place, where he might stay? Is it Kona, Or Cocoa Bay? To heaven, mom? How could he go? Please say you lie! Please tell me no! But I love him! Why did God choose Grampa so both Of us could lose? Now that he's gone, So is my heart, I cannot take That we must part. Why must He take The person close, Must it be gramps As the guy God chose? If gramps is gone, Then so am I, But I'll be strong, And I won't cry. Grampa told me, Two days ago, "If you feel down, Don't let it show! "Life's too short to Live on the past. God made life so, And it won't last! "And so, Timmy, Live your own way, Be wary of What you might say. "I'll see you there, Next to the throne, In skies where Gramps Won't be alone. "Love life, Timmy, Don't hide it away, Even off the Beaten path stray. "Be happy, be smart, Be loving, free! In Heaven, Tim, I will see thee." |
