Grandpa Poem by Danny Speicher

Well, the time is drawing near
And, I've prayed for your peace
This legacy you've left
Will live on and never cease
The memories we've had
Will live on in me all of my life
They will be excellent stories
To tell my children and my wife
Stories of fishing trips and baseball games
Watched late at night in our chair
Stories of your changed life
Due to one little prayer
Grandpa, you've changed my life
And you've given me laughter and joy
But, now it's time to leave us
So, don't worry about your little boy
I'll be fine here with the family
And we'll all soon be with you, so do not cry
We'll see you and grandma... And all the rest
WIthin the twinkling of your eye
