Grandpa's Poem

You're slowly fading, trying to hang on
I've been by your side broken, trying to stay strong
Your life may be ending, but your soul will live on
You'll have a new life in heaven, which is where you belong

The moment you walk through those pearly white gates
Is the moment you'll realize that this was God's fate
You'll see that the street to the city is made of pure gold
That's when you'll realize we'll be alright; we have each other to hold

When your gone and you're no longer here
We will hold on to the memories that we hold so near
We'll fight through all of the pain and sorrow
And we'll pray to God for peace in tomorrow

You have a special place inside everyone's heart
And that is a special bond that cant be torn apart
All that's left to say now is that I love you
You're safe inside of God's arms because he loves you too
