A Legacy In Love

A legacy in love

My personal memory of being his granddaughter

Is going to the spring to play while he bottled water.

Some men leave behind

Great riches that can blind

But my grandpa leaves behind

A legacy of a living kind.

A man of spiritual success

In his soul he did invest

I believe this served him best

For with 95 years he was blessed

And as he watches from above

He leaves behind a legacy of love

Therefore each day I'll try to follow

The example of this great role model

Who taught me you needn't be loud to get respect

Being kind and of few words gains the same effect

He taught me to build a legacy

That will follow me eternally.

A great legacy that is based in love

Will stretch from earth to the heavens above.

“Don't grieve for me

for I am free

I'm following the path that's laid for me

I took his hand when I heard him call,

and I turned my back and left it all.

Perhaps my time seemed all too brief.

Don't lengthen it now with undone grief

lift up you heart and share with me

God wanted me now

he set me free.”
