Mr. Ford Crosses the Bridge - May 6th

 
Dear Mr. Ford,

I’m sorry that I only met you in your last days
When you were ready to cross that bridge
I was told you were a hardworking,
Wonderful, caring family man
And that you needed some assistance

When your grandson asked if I could help
I was glad because you raised a good man
It was only a small gesture but seeing you there
On your death bed was heartbreaking

I had never seen the eyes of a man
Stare into my soul like that
I don’t know the pain you must have been in
But you were fading, slowly, fading

Now the pain has subsided
And I hope wonderful memories remain
The love and care you gave your family
Is a testimony for generations to come

Rest in peace kind sir

To Tim:
Brother, my condolences,
I don’t have much words to offer comfort
Except maybe that I'll cry with you
Now that your grandpa has crossed the bridge
