Grandpa

The time will come when
you need to go home.
I'll be okay because you'll be
my future angel.

Watching me from heaven's floor
helping me though life
with memories coming to mind
about all the good times.

Though pain was rough
I know when you take that
trip to heaven you'll be
my future angel.

You've made life happy for me,
making me smile when I want to cry.
You've lived life well,
so I'm happy anyways.

I'll say that you're an amazing
grandpa to have.
You're like a best friend and
my future angel.
