Missing Paw Paw
We lost our Paw Paw one November
Day,
He went to heaven before I got to say,
I love you and thank you for all you’ve
done,
You gave me my mother, a mom like
no-one
I hope that you can see from up there,
Because sometimes, I sit and stare
Up at the sky, and talk to you,
To hope and wish, that you are not
blue.
I saw you that morning, and you said to
me,
That you loved and were so very proud
of me.
I miss you so damn muck,
To talk to, laugh with, and such.
The girls are getting so very tall,
I will make sure that they remember
all.
You playing and holding them oh so
tight,
And how you loved them, with all your
might.
Black boots, hats, shirts, and jeans,
Anything else, you weren’t so keen.
Your coffee as black as the clothes
that you wore,
The dot candy that you loved to get
from the store.
I wonder, did God get you a set of black
wings?
Cause you won’t wear white as the
angels sing.
I know that you’re up there, looking
down on us,
Something’s probably making you
cuss.
It hurts that your gone, we feel so sad,
You were a paw paw, a husband, a dad.
Maw Maw, she loved you with all her
heart,
She hurts every day, now that you’ve
part.
It helps to remember all the good
times,
With problems, you’d help at the dropp
of a dime.
I’ll see you again, and see that the
pain,
God took it; he took it, all away.
