When I was a child you showed me love,

Your touch was sweet and soft as a dove.

You put the goodness I have in me today,

For you, there never was any other way.

The comfort you gave, your loving embrace,

The sweet, beautiful sight of your face.

Oh, how I miss you each day,

I wish God hadn't taken you away.

You were my heart and my life.

Your passing cut like a knife!

Your beauty went down to the bone,

My God! How I wish you weren't gone!

When you left, you took a part of me,

The part you took, will never be free.

It sits in the darkness and waits for the day,

When I reach out and touch your hand, I pray.

The circle will be complete that day, again,

My granddaddy, my comforter,my friend.
