Memories Last A Lifetime

I wish you were here, but now you are gone.
When times got tough, it was hard to carry on.
I think of your jokes, laughs and smiles.
I can remember when you and I used to ride for miles.
When I was six years old you would drive me to school.
I'd think gosh riding with papaw isn't this cool.
And of course we would always stop at the store.
But I always wanted papaw to drive a little more.
Papaw I now have four children that I wish you could have seen.
They are something really special and make a real good team.
You lit up my world and put a lot of love in my heart.
I still feel you and I aren't very far apart.
Because I know that you are the angel that watches over me, after all there is no one else in the world I would rather it be. I still miss you and wish you were here, I only have to think of you and shed a big tear.
He had to take you home so you wouldn't suffer any more pain. Now you are in heaven and we can't sit on the porch anymore and watch it rain.
