Grandpa - 2000

Well here we are again my friend another four yours has flown bye,
I am still on earth and you in home in the sky.
All week long, I have been sad and down for I know I must again face this day,
I have to think of pain and turmoil we went threw until God took you away.
As the end of October, tumbles on in I start to cry for that I hate that I lost my friend,
As I long I live here on this earth I will hurt and long for
you grandpa until the very end.
My Anthony has had a hard time with your death for he also lost his one and only ravioli grandpa,
Your can of ravioli from the funeral is still by your urn you would be so proud he is so tall.
Remember when you sat an watched baby Curtis ball baseball, you should see him in football he is so good,
As I sit an watch him I think of all you have missed and of course am as proud of him as any mother could.
Destiny as grown into a beautiful young lady, I could kill her at times but I know she will be fine.
Grandpa, I just want you know you are on mind .
When I look up into the sky tonight, I will make a wish upon a star,
That I did all the right decision I made on right choices at the time of death and that you are where you want to be.
I can’t say your death will get any easier on me but I promise I will try and that I still miss you more than anyone will ever see.
