The day we buried Grandpa
I could not let him go,
I needed to accept it
The Lord had told me so.
The day we buried Grandpa
My heart was filled with pain,
But that soon turned to joy
For this was Grandpa’s gain!
The day we buried Grandpa
I did not understand my tears,
But this is what he lived for
To see God after all these years.
The day we buried Grandpa
I remembered times of past,
The memory of his special sweetness
Would forever last.
The day we buried Grandpa
Was hard not just for me,
His family loved him dearly
With devotion evident to see.
The day we buried Grandpa
It was clear unto us all,
That though he had not much on earth
He was the richest man of all!
