Keep hearing a voice that says "grieve not for me"
Remember the best times, the laughter the songs
The good life I lived where I was strong
Continue my heritage, I'm counting on you
Keep smiling and surely the sun will shine through
My mind is at ease, my soul is at rest
Remembering all how, I was truly blessed
Continue traditions, no matter how small
go on with your life, don't stare at the wall
I miss you all dearly, so keep up your chin
Until the day comes when we're together again...We love you Grandpa.
