Grandad





When I think of you

I see a smile that never fades



An inquiring mind

that out thought

the quickest of intellects



A beacon of light

you shone your sunshine

into everyone you met

You left them happy and content



I see a gentleman walking amongst men

You fought against mens' melancholy

you rescued suffering souls

Your meaning in life was to protect



You fought for many worthwhile causes

always offering a gentle hand

an open mind and a benevolent smile



You had time for everyone who inclined their heads

or met your eyes

You were as a beautiful kaleidoscopic sunrise

A soul so enchanted with life



You loved your ditties and to make people smile

I can't think of a life more worthwhile



Your family were your ultimate joy

You loved them unconditionally



And they in turn adored their mentor



We'll miss a man a life so patient

You always did the right thing

You were a ministering angel



There will never be a day we don't miss your sunshine smile.
