You were a wonderful man- <br />intelligent, loving, and kind. <br />I really miss you Papa, <br />you're often on my mind. <br />I can still hear your whistle, <br />I can still hear your voice. <br />I see you often, Papa, <br />in the faces of your boys. <br />I rmemeber our trips to Hendersonville, <br />going out to eat. <br />Remember? We used to love to go, <br />that was a special treat. <br />So many things I remember, <br />things I haven't thought of in a while. <br />So many special memories, <br />memories that make me smile. <br />You never realize <br />how much someone means to you, <br />until you find them gone. <br />It broke my heart into, <br />the day God called you home. <br />So many things I should've said, <br />so many things I wish I'd shared. <br />I thought you were eternal, <br />I thought you'd always be there. <br />Papa, if I took you for granted, <br />I'm sorry, I didn't know. <br />I really hope you know, <br />I truly loved you so. <br />I'm very proud to be your grand-daughter <br />I consider myself a lucky girl. <br />To have had the greatest grand-dad <br />in the whole wide world. <br />I know you're in Heaven now, <br />resting with our Father on high. <br />I just can't wait to see you <br />at that reunion in the sweet by and by. <br /> <br /> <br />* A Reminder About Copyright * <br />If you want to use a poem from this site please make your request to: janiceraymer@ymail.com <br />I will almost certainly say yes but this does me the courtesy of a request, and keeps the potential user from infringement of my copyright which is absolutely retained. <br /> <br />Thank you. <br />Janis Land-Raymer<br /><br />Janis Land Raymer<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/for-my-papa-land/
