"My Grandpa"
If you asked about my Grandpa
I don't know where I'd start
I guess I'd tell you 'bout the things
He held closest to his heart.
Well, first there is my Grandma
The greatest love he's ever known
He found her with a broken heart
And gave his loving home.
Then there were his children
Some were his and some were steps
But you couldn't tell the difference,
He loved them none the less.
He had a lot of grandkids
That filled his heart with joy
He couldn't wait to give us
A piece of candy or a toy.
He had a love for animals,
There was Foxy, Josie and Joe,
He delighted in their company
Like no one could ever know.
And oh, how he loved fishing
He'd spend hours at the beach
Waiting for the Big One
That was always out of reach.
Then there were his pine trees
The foundation of his pride,
With a chainsaw and a smile,
Off on his four-wheeler he would ride.
His faith in God was steady,
His soul was filled with love,
And I know that he is home again,
With the angels up above.
He loved to have a good time
playing cards, though he'd get beat.
He'd laugh and laugh and laugh for hours,
As he swore the girls would cheat.
So when you ask about my Grandpa,
My eyes may fill with tears,
Because it's time to say goodbye,
To those precious loving years.
But I'll tell you with a smile,
That I was his biggest fan,
He was someone you could count on,
An honest, loving man.
"I Wonder If She Knows...."
I wonder if she knows
I miss her every day
And she's still my dearest friend,
Even though I moved away....
I wonder if she knows
She has an angel's heart
She makes me feel like she's right here
Even though we're miles apart.
I wonder if she knows
That I could search the earth
And never find a more precious thing
Than what my friend is worth.
I wonder if she knows
She makes me laugh through tears
And she's the one I'd want by my side
If I had to face my fears.
I wonder if she knows
When I search my memory
For best friends I've had in my life,
She's the only face I see.
I wonder if she knows
There were times I thought I'd die
If it hadn't been for her
Staying by my side.
I wonder if she knows
That whatever she goes through,
I'll give her anything she needs,
There is nothing I won't do.
I hope now that she knows
She's my best friend through and through
So Tricia, thanks for everything
Because the "she" in this is you.
