Dear Grandpa,

I don't want you to worry about me.
This was the plan from the very first day.
God told me to trust him, you see,
To believe and trust his way.

When Mommy told you about me,
I saw that sadness in your eyes,
What to feel or how to be.
Yes, Grandpa, I heard your cries.

I know that this was hard for you,
And I saw you on your knees,
Praying for a miracle to come true.
Your heart was on your sleeve.

I heard you scream to Jesus why,
Blaming him for losing me.
I'll always be your grandson,
And my grandpa you'll always be.

I found comfort in your arms
And the love you had for me.
I'm not far from where you are.
In your heart I'll always be.

Heaven is really a peaceful place.
I'll meet you again one day.
Keep your faith and always pray.
Know Jesus and trust his way.

I felt you hold my hand that day
And say your I love you's.
Up here, Grandpa, I can run and play.
Close your eyes, you'll see me, too.

The day I left this life to be
In heaven with someone new.,
Not only Jesus Christ, you see.
I met your grandpa, too.

When God created you,
He knew what he would see.
Someone that wasn't perfect,
Or in heaven you would be.

He put you here on earth
To lead this life you live,
Learning as you go,
Giving what you can give.

He knew that you would stumble
And sometimes even fall.
He knew that you would suffer
And in Jesus Christ you'd call.

Mistakes and bad decisions
He knew you would make
To live and learn from them.
Sometimes more than you can take.

He's had a plan for you
From the very first day.
Frustrating times will be,
But soon you'll see his way.

Love, hope, and faith.
He'll give this all to you.
Patience please, my friend.
How only if you knew.

The love you have inside you,
All the good that you do,
This does not go unnoticed,
And he shall see it too.

He'll carry you if he needs to
And hold you when you pray.
He knows the pain you carry
Each and every day.

What's brought you to your knees
Some gave up on you.
God will only keep around
The ones that see it through.

One day you will see
What I've been telling you.
The love that he's been saving
He created just for you.
